Read Menard County, Illinois as a heat map for effort — the county's low composite of 15/100 hides wide ZIP-level variation, and the return comes from chasing the hot ZIPs, not the average. 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 Menard County data is thin.
