What supports the Hancock County read is documentary: filings from the recorder and courts, federal price and bank data, and blanks wherever coverage is thin.

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 Hancock 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.
