Guernsey County, OH: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Guernsey County, Ohio is scored end-to-end by DLRadar for property distress, drawn only from deterministic public records. ZIP-level distress ranges from 22/100 at the top down to 10/100. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 49/100. Coverage runs to 20 ZIPs across Guernsey County, a low 17/100 average.

The county market is in a peak phase: home prices rose 3.9% over the past year, a 28/100-confidence read. With pricing topped out, distress turns selective so screen ZIP by ZIP.

Guernsey County's topped-out +3.9% YoY (28/100 confidence) means the discount lives in outliers so the headline market won't hand it over. A mid-cycle 49/100 lender reading implies both signal sets in play here.

By composite, 43762 (22/100), 43837 (20/100), 43983 (20/100), 43832 (19/100), 43722 (17/100), 43723 (17/100) top the county — tap any ZIP to go deeper. Also scored across the county: 43725, 43733, 43736, 43749, 43750, 43755, 43768, 43778, 43732, 43773.

Whether Guernsey County, Ohio carries heavy distress or only a handful of flagged parcels, every score here is built the same deterministic way — from recorded foreclosures, tax delinquency, liens and lender stress — so Guernsey County can be compared directly against any county in the country.

In Guernsey County, Ohio, the scores are a targeting tool first: they tell you which ZIPs hold the distress and which owners are most likely under real financial pressure, so limited acquisition effort lands where it converts. The Guernsey County figures are auditable line by line — county recorders and courts, FHFA price data, FDIC bank filings — with gaps left visible rather than filled by estimate.

Drilling in, Guernsey County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 43762 (22/100), 43837 (20/100), 43983 (20/100), 43832 (19/100), 43722 (17/100), 43723 (17/100). DLRadar also scores 43725, 43733, 43736, 43749, 43750, 43755, 43768, 43778 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.

The Guernsey County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
