The point of scoring Hancock County, Kentucky is to narrow it — the high-composite ZIPs carry the distress, and everything below them rarely repays the outreach cost. 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 Hancock County data is thin.

Drilling in, Hancock County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 42366 (34/100), 42343 (28/100), 42351 (27/100), 42348 (25/100), 42368 (25/100). 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 Hancock 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.
