Used properly, Onondaga County, New York's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Onondaga County as a whole. Nothing in the Onondaga County read is modelled: recorder and court filings drive foreclosure and lien signals, FHFA sets the price cycle, FDIC the lender stress, and a thin source stays blank.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Onondaga County are 13069 (25/100), 13020 (20/100), 13027 (20/100), 13029 (20/100), 13031 (20/100), 13039 (20/100). DLRadar also scores 13041, 13051, 13057, 13060, 13063, 13066, 13078, 13084 and more across the county. Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.

Under Onondaga 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.
