The way to work Smith County, Kansas is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 9/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Smith County with undifferentiated outreach. 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 Smith County data is thin.

Drilling in, Smith County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 66951 (9/100), 67430 (9/100), 67437 (9/100), 67623 (9/100), 66932 (8/100), 66952 (8/100). DLRadar also scores 66967, 67474, 67628, 67638 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.

Under Smith 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.
