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

Washington County, Kansas is mapped parcel-to-ZIP by DLRadar's public-record distress engine. Individual Washington County ZIPs score between 4 and 21 on the 0–100 composite. There are 15 scored ZIPs in the county (mean composite 17/100). County-level credit and bank headwind reads 45/100.

In its peak phase, Washington County home prices rose 2.9% across the last year, at 25/100 phase confidence. At this stage of the cycle, blanket buying underperforms leaving the wins in individual deals.

At +2.9% YoY and 25/100 confidence, the discount lives in outliers — target the few ZIPs carrying distress. A moderate 45/100 lender headwind implies both signal sets in play here.

Top distress by ZIP runs 66943 (21/100), 66944 (21/100), 66945 (21/100), 66946 (21/100), 66953 (21/100), 66955 (21/100), listed with every scored ZIP below. Other tracked Washington County ZIPs include 66958, 66968, 66933, 66412, 66962, 66548, 66937, 66938, 66960.

Profile-wise, the Washington County ZIPs on file show 14.7% of units sitting vacant, a 8.9% poverty rate, 82% of homes owner-occupied, residents with a median age around 44, household income averaging about $65,265, below the national median, median home values around $118,131 (below the national figure). Income, equity and tenure like these frame the volume of pressured sellers and the exit liquidity behind them.

At 17/100 composite over 15 ZIPs, the edge is selective acquisition and not a county-wide play. A DLRadar subscription opens every Washington County parcel: owner and contact detail, APN, its own score, the lender behind it and an exit read.

No county is too small to score: Washington County, Kansas runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Washington County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in Kansas.

Read Washington County, Kansas as a heat map for effort — the county's low composite of 17/100 hides wide ZIP-level variation, and the return comes from chasing the hot ZIPs, not the average. Every Washington County signal ties to a named public source, and where the record is sparse DLRadar shows nothing instead of guessing.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Washington County are 66943 (21/100), 66944 (21/100), 66945 (21/100), 66946 (21/100), 66953 (21/100), 66955 (21/100). DLRadar also scores 66958, 66968, 66933, 66412, 66962, 66548, 66937, 66938 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.

The Washington County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
