Approach Hamilton County by rank rather than by average — the 21/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. The Hamilton County scoring is reproducible from public sources alone, and DLRadar declines to estimate where the underlying record is incomplete.

Drilling in, Hamilton County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 45013 (25/100), 45069 (25/100), 45001 (21/100), 45002 (21/100), 45030 (21/100), 45033 (21/100). DLRadar also scores 45041, 45051, 45052, 45111, 45174, 45202, 45203, 45204 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.

Under Hamilton 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.
