The distress read for St. Mary County, Louisiana is refreshed as new public records post and uses the same methodology coast to coast, so St. Mary County stays directly comparable to any other market you track.

St. Mary County, Louisiana is best worked from the top of the score down; blanket outreach across St. Mary County dilutes effort that the ZIP-level numbers would have focused. 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 St. Mary County data is thin.

Drilling in, St. Mary County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 70380 (33/100), 70340 (32/100), 70342 (32/100), 70392 (32/100), 70514 (32/100), 70522 (32/100). DLRadar also scores 70523, 70538, 70544 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 St. Mary 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.
