All Louisiana readings here are built only from verifiable public records — foreclosure filings, mortgage and tax stress, liens, bank exposure and climate risk — aggregated parcel-to-ZIP-to-county. Since Louisiana runs peak overall, the edge is in the divergence — the counties and ZIPs that don't match the headline.

Open any Louisiana county above, or drill straight to a ZIP report. Subscribers get each distressed Louisiana property's owner, address and APN, a score, bank-exposure read and funding-to-closing path.

Regardless of Louisiana's statewide average, every county and ZIP is scored the same deterministic way — court and recorder filings, FHFA price data and FDIC lender stress — so a Louisiana county can be weighed against any market in the country on equal footing. Every figure is traceable: Louisiana scores rebuild from public records as they post, with nothing modeled to fill a gap.

Within Louisiana, St. Helena County, Bossier County, Caldwell County, Vernon County, Caddo County lead the ranking ; the top ZIP codes are 70344 (39/100), 70352 (39/100), 70353 (39/100), 70356 (39/100), 70360 (39/100).

Each Louisiana score is a composite, blending foreclosure filings, mortgage stress, tax delinquency, liens and local lender headwind so two markets with the same total can differ sharply underneath.

For a buyer, the workflow in Louisiana is the same regardless of the state's size: open the top-ranked county, follow it down to the hottest ZIPs, and finish at the specific parcels driving the distress , with DLRadar handling scoring, funding and closing from there.

Because the model is deterministic, a Louisiana score can be traced back to the exact filings behind it — court filings, county tax and lien records, FHFA and FDIC data — which is what makes the Louisiana data defensible to cite.
