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

The peak-phase county posted home values that rose 3.8% over twelve months, a 39/100-confidence read. At this stage of the cycle, broad sweeps stop paying so screen ZIP by ZIP.

Near the cycle top at +3.8% YoY (39/100 confidence), opportunity is parcel-specific so the headline market won't hand it over. A mid-cycle 44/100 lender reading points to a blend the ZIP scores sort out.

These fundamentals signal the supply of motivated sellers and the speed of resale.

At 20/100 composite over 38 ZIPs, the edge is selective acquisition for a disciplined buyer. A DLRadar subscription opens every Mahoning County parcel: owner and contact detail, APN, a distress reading, the lender on title and exit timing.

No county is too small to score: Mahoning County, Ohio runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Mahoning County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in Ohio.

Approach Mahoning County by rank rather than by average — the 20/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. All of it is deterministic and auditable: Mahoning County's numbers come from county recorders, the courts, FHFA and FDIC, with nothing interpolated or guessed when a source is sparse.

The ZIP breakdown for Mahoning County leads with 44401 (21/100), 44405 (21/100), 44406 (21/100), 44429 (21/100), 44436 (21/100), 44442 (21/100). DLRadar also scores 44443, 44449, 44451, 44452, 44454, 44471, 44502, 44503 and more across the county. Because each ZIP is graded on its own foreclosure, tax and lender record, the county's distress is best read code by code rather than as a single number.

Under Mahoning 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.
