Franklin County, MO: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Every ZIP in Franklin County, Missouri carries a DLRadar distress score assembled from foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender records. ZIP-level distress ranges from 32/100 at the top down to 17/100. Lender pressure in Franklin County registers 55/100 — a moderate bank-stress headwind. There are 23 scored ZIPs in the county (mean composite 28/100).

In its peak phase, Franklin County home prices rose 3.9% across the last year (phase confidence 26/100). On a market plateau, broad sweeps stop paying so screen ZIP by ZIP.

Near the cycle top at +3.9% YoY (26/100 confidence), the discount lives in outliers and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. A moderate 55/100 lender headwind implies both signal sets in play here.

Highest scores land in 63005 (32/100), 63069 (30/100), 63013 (29/100), 63015 (29/100), 63039 (29/100), 63041 (29/100); each opens to a full parcel breakdown. Also scored across the county: 63055, 63056, 63060, 63061, 63072, 63073, 63077, 63079, 63084, 63089.

Numbers like these shape both the distress on offer and the exit velocity.

All in at 28/100 over 23 ZIPs, Franklin County is a screen-by-ZIP market and not a county-wide play. A DLRadar subscription opens every Franklin County parcel: owner, address and APN, a distress reading, the lender on title and exit timing.

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

Treat Franklin County, Missouri as a ranked list, not a single market: the spread between its strongest and weakest ZIPs is where the acquisition margin actually sits. The Franklin County scoring is reproducible from public sources alone, and DLRadar declines to estimate where the underlying record is incomplete.

Drilling in, Franklin County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 63005 (32/100), 63069 (30/100), 63013 (29/100), 63015 (29/100), 63039 (29/100), 63041 (29/100). DLRadar also scores 63055, 63056, 63060, 63061, 63072, 63073, 63077, 63079 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 Franklin 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.
