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

Paulding County, Ohio is mapped parcel-to-ZIP by DLRadar's public-record distress engine. 15 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 7/100 distress. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 64/100 — elevated, a sign of lender stress locally. Individual Paulding County ZIPs score between 5 and 14 on the 0–100 composite.

In its expansion phase, Paulding County home prices rose 6.0% across the last year (phase confidence 34/100). Despite the upswing, some owners fall behind anyway so the laggard ZIPs are the opening.

At +6.0% YoY (34/100 confidence), well-bought parcels resell faster — and a rising tide cleans up those exits. An elevated 64/100 reading favors patient capital: short sales and foreclosures accelerate.

Highest scores land in 45831 (14/100), 45827 (13/100), 43512 (9/100), 43526 (9/100), 45813 (6/100), 45821 (6/100); each opens to a full parcel breakdown. Further scored ZIPs: 45849, 45851, 45855, 45861, 45873, 45879, 45880, 45832, 45886.

On the housing-and-income side, the ZIPs DLRadar tracks across Paulding County come in at median home values around $143,433 (below the national figure), poverty running near 8.8%, a 9.3% vacancy rate, residents with a median age around 41.3, an owner-occupied share of 84%, household income averaging about $71,428, roughly at the national median. Read together, they drive who is forced to sell and how readily the market absorbs it.

All in at 7/100 over 15 ZIPs, distress here is parcel-specific rather than a blanket buy. A DLRadar subscription opens every Paulding County parcel: owner and contact detail, APN, score, bank exposure and an exit-velocity estimate.
