The point of scoring Mason County, Illinois is to narrow it — the high-composite ZIPs carry the distress, and everything below them rarely repays the outreach cost. What supports the Mason County read is documentary: filings from the recorder and courts, federal price and bank data, and blanks wherever coverage is thin.

Drilling in, Mason County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 61532 (17/100), 61567 (17/100), 62617 (17/100), 62627 (17/100), 62633 (17/100), 62655 (17/100). DLRadar also scores 62664, 62644, 61546, 62671, 62682 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 Mason 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.
