For anyone buying in Hancock County, the scores answer one question first — which ZIPs deserve the marketing budget, with the top reading 18/100. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Hancock County data is thin.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Hancock County are 62351 (18/100), 62349 (17/100), 61450 (15/100), 62313 (15/100), 62321 (15/100), 62330 (15/100). DLRadar also scores 62334, 62336, 62341, 62354, 62358, 62373, 62374, 62380 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.

Under Hancock County's headline composite sit distinct layers — recorded foreclosures, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind — each scored separately before they roll up, so the same total can describe very different markets.
