Used properly, Davis County, Iowa's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Davis County as a whole. The Davis County figures are auditable line by line — county recorders and courts, FHFA price data, FDIC bank filings — with gaps left visible rather than filled by estimate.

Drilling in, Davis County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 52572 (15/100), 52594 (14/100), 52554 (13/100), 52551 (9/100), 52537 (7/100), 52552 (7/100). DLRadar also scores 52560, 52584, 52588, 52570 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.

DLRadar's composite for Davis 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.
