Scores in Brown County, Ohio exist to concentrate effort: a handful of ZIPs hold most of the distress, and the rest seldom justify the acquisition cost. Nothing in the Brown 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 Brown County are 45106 (18/100), 45101 (17/100), 45115 (17/100), 45119 (17/100), 45120 (17/100), 45121 (17/100).

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.

DLRadar's composite for Brown 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.
