Approach Osage County by rank rather than by average — the 19/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. The Osage County scoring is reproducible from public sources alone, and DLRadar declines to estimate where the underlying record is incomplete.

Drilling in, Osage County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 65016 (22/100), 65024 (22/100), 65035 (22/100), 65048 (22/100), 65051 (22/100), 65054 (22/100). DLRadar also scores 65085, 65101, 65076, 65062, 65061, 65014, 65001, 65058 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 Osage 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.
