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

Lake County, Florida sits inside DLRadar's nationwide distress index, built entirely from public records. The county's lending-headwind score sits at 51/100 (moderate). Across its ZIPs, composite distress spans 32 to 38 out of 100. There are 30 scored ZIPs in the county (mean composite 36/100).

In its peak phase, Lake County home prices held roughly flat across the last year, at 14/100 phase confidence. With pricing topped out, broad sweeps stop paying — the edge is parcel by parcel.

Lake County's topped-out +0.3% YoY (14/100 confidence) means the discount lives in outliers and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. A moderate 51/100 lender headwind points to both signal sets in play here.

Highest scores land in 32720 (38/100), 34787 (38/100), 32102 (37/100), 32757 (37/100), 32726 (36/100), 32735 (36/100); each opens to a full parcel breakdown. Further scored ZIPs: 32736, 32767, 32776, 32778, 34705, 34711, 34714, 34715, 34729, 34731.

The point of scoring Lake County, Florida is to narrow it — the high-composite ZIPs carry the distress, and everything below them rarely repays the outreach cost. Provenance for Lake County is explicit: recorders and courts for filings, FHFA for prices, FDIC for lenders. No interpolation, no synthetic values.

Because each ZIP is graded on its own foreclosure, tax and lender record, the county's distress is best read code by code rather than as a single number.

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.
