The way to work Dare County, North Carolina is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 35/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Dare County with undifferentiated outreach. These Dare County numbers come straight from public filings and refresh as new ones post; a missing source produces a blank field, never an estimate.

Drilling in, Dare County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 27915 (35/100), 27920 (35/100), 27936 (35/100), 27943 (35/100), 27948 (35/100), 27949 (35/100). DLRadar also scores 27953, 27954, 27959, 27968, 27972, 27978, 27981, 27982 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 Dare 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.
