Washington County, IL: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Washington County, Illinois is scored end-to-end by DLRadar for property distress, drawn only from deterministic public records. 13 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 23/100 distress. On bank and credit headwind, Washington County scores 62/100, a stressed reading. Across its ZIPs, composite distress spans 13 to 31 out of 100.

The expansion-phase county posted home values that rose 5.3% over twelve months, at 34/100 phase confidence. Even as prices climb, specific ZIPs still slip even as the headline looks strong.

At +5.3% YoY (34/100 confidence), liquidity improves for clean exits — and a rising tide cleans up those exits. Bank stress at 62/100 favors patient capital: banks under pressure move REO faster.

Highest scores land in 62257 (31/100), 62214 (25/100), 62263 (25/100), 62271 (25/100), 62803 (25/100), 62848 (25/100); each opens to a full parcel breakdown. Further scored ZIPs: 62876, 62877, 62808, 62268, 62801, 62831, 62237.

Profile-wise, Washington County's scored ZIPs report 13.4% of units sitting vacant, an owner-occupied share of 83%, residents with a median age around 44.5, incomes around $62,749, median home values around $135,692 (below the national figure), a 9.5% poverty rate. Income, equity and tenure like these drive which owners come under strain and how quickly stock clears.

Net of it all, 23/100 over 13 ZIPs means Washington County is a screen-by-ZIP market and not a county-wide play. Subscribers get each Washington County parcel's owner and contact detail, APN, a per-parcel score, lender exposure and exit read.

Because Washington County, Illinois is scored on the identical public-record model used nationwide, even a quiet county is measured on one scale — letting you weigh Washington County against neighboring markets or the rest of Illinois on equal footing.

Scores in Washington County, Illinois exist to concentrate effort: a handful of ZIPs hold most of the distress, and the rest seldom justify the acquisition cost. All of it is deterministic and auditable: Washington County's numbers come from county recorders, the courts, FHFA and FDIC, with nothing interpolated or guessed when a source is sparse.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Washington County are 62257 (31/100), 62214 (25/100), 62263 (25/100), 62271 (25/100), 62803 (25/100), 62848 (25/100). DLRadar also scores 62876, 62877, 62808, 62268, 62801, 62831, 62237 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 Washington 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.
