Read Butler County, Ohio as a heat map for effort — the county's low composite of 24/100 hides wide ZIP-level variation, and the return comes from chasing the hot ZIPs, not the average. Nothing in the Butler 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.

DLRadar also scores 45055, 45056, 45062, 45067, 45069, 45042, 45050, 45327 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 Butler 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.
