Treat Van Buren County, Michigan as a ranked list, not a single market: the spread between its strongest and weakest ZIPs is where the acquisition margin actually sits. 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 Van Buren County data is thin.
Drilling in, Van Buren County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 49009 (29/100), 49087 (29/100), 49078 (25/100), 49010 (24/100), 49071 (22/100), 49090 (22/100). DLRadar also scores 49022, 49038, 49056, 49098, 49047, 49026, 49045, 49055 and more 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 Van Buren 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.
