For anyone buying in Hennepin County, the scores answer one question first — which ZIPs deserve the marketing budget, with the top reading 25/100. 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 Hennepin County data is thin.

Drilling in, Hennepin County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 55317 (25/100), 55387 (25/100), 55331 (24/100), 55375 (24/100), 55388 (24/100), 55111 (23/100). DLRadar also scores 55305, 55311, 55316, 55327, 55340, 55343, 55344, 55345 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.

DLRadar's composite for Hennepin 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.
