The way to work Johnston County, North Carolina is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 34/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Johnston County with undifferentiated outreach. 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 Johnston County data is thin.
