The way to work Duval County, Florida is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 38/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Duval County with undifferentiated outreach. All of it is deterministic and auditable: Duval County's numbers come from county recorders, the courts, FHFA and FDIC, with nothing interpolated or guessed when a source is sparse.

Drilling in, Duval County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 32259 (38/100), 32081 (37/100), 32202 (35/100), 32203 (35/100), 32204 (35/100), 32205 (35/100). DLRadar also scores 32206, 32207, 32208, 32209, 32210, 32211, 32212, 32214 and more across the county. Every one of these is scored independently — a ZIP's composite reflects its own recorded distress, which is why the county average alone hides where the real pressure sits.

The Duval County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
