Lake County, CA: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Lake County, California is scored end-to-end by DLRadar for property distress, drawn only from deterministic public records. There are 15 scored ZIPs in the county (mean composite 27/100). On bank and credit headwind, Lake County scores 27/100. Individual Lake County ZIPs score between 26 and 27 on the 0–100 composite.

The county market is in a peak phase: home prices rose 0.4% over the past year, a 12/100-confidence read. At this stage of the cycle, the average masks the outliers — the edge is parcel by parcel.

Lake County's topped-out +0.4% YoY (12/100 confidence) means opportunity is parcel-specific and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. A steady 27/100 bank reading points the search to tax, code and ownership-change cases over REO.

Leading Lake County on distress: 95422 (27/100), 95423 (27/100), 95426 (27/100), 95435 (27/100), 95443 (27/100), 95451 (27/100). Further scored ZIPs: 95453, 95457, 95458, 95461, 95464, 95467, 95485, 95493, 95469.

Underneath the scores, the Lake County ZIPs on file come in at typical home values near $367,385, poverty running near 17.7%, an owner-occupied share of 69%, residents with a median age around 44.1, household income averaging about $60,469, below the national median, vacancy near 24.9%. Numbers like these frame how much distress reaches the market and how fast it moves.

All in at 27/100 over 15 ZIPs, distress here is parcel-specific rather than a blanket buy. Subscribers get each Lake County parcel's owner, address and APN, a per-parcel score, lender exposure and exit read.

No county is too small to score: Lake County, California runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Lake County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in California.

The point of scoring Lake County, California is to narrow it — the high-composite ZIPs carry the distress, and everything below them rarely repays the outreach cost. Nothing in the Lake County read is modelled: recorder and court filings drive foreclosure and lien signals, FHFA sets the price cycle, FDIC the lender stress, and a thin source stays blank.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Lake County are 95422 (27/100), 95423 (27/100), 95426 (27/100), 95435 (27/100), 95443 (27/100), 95451 (27/100). DLRadar also scores 95453, 95457, 95458, 95461, 95464, 95467, 95485, 95493 and more across the county. Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.

DLRadar's composite for Lake County blends several independent signals — foreclosure and pre-foreclosure filings, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, and the bank-stress headwind of the lenders operating locally — into one 0–100 score per ZIP, so a market can rank high on one axis and low on another.
