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

Richland County, Ohio is mapped parcel-to-ZIP by DLRadar's public-record distress engine. ZIP-level distress ranges from 27/100 at the top down to 10/100. County-level credit and bank headwind reads 47/100. Coverage runs to 19 ZIPs across Richland County, a low 18/100 average.

The contraction-phase county posted home values that fell 2.9% over twelve months, now 5.0% off the recent peak (phase confidence 92/100). As values soften here, carrying costs bite harder leaving room for disciplined offers.

Richland County's -2.9% YoY slide (92/100 confidence) means conservative underwriting wins and you underwrite to today's comps, not the peak. A mid-cycle 47/100 lender reading implies mixed owner- and bank-driven distress.

Top distress by ZIP runs 44901 (27/100), 44902 (27/100), 44905 (27/100), 44906 (27/100), 44907 (27/100), 44822 (17/100), listed with every scored ZIP below. Coverage extends to 44813, 44843, 44875, 44878, 44903, 43019, 44805, 44827, 44864, 44904 among others.

Taken together, they drive who is forced to sell and how readily the market absorbs it.

At 18/100 composite over 19 ZIPs, the opportunity hides below the average and not a county-wide play. Subscribers get each Richland County parcel's owner, APN and address, a per-parcel score, lender exposure and exit read.

The distress read for Richland County, Ohio is refreshed as new public records post and uses the same methodology coast to coast, so Richland County stays directly comparable to any other market you track.

Used properly, Richland County, Ohio's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Richland County as a whole. Nothing in the Richland 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.

The ZIP breakdown for Richland County leads with 44901 (27/100), 44902 (27/100), 44905 (27/100), 44906 (27/100), 44907 (27/100), 44822 (17/100). DLRadar also scores 44813, 44843, 44875, 44878, 44903, 43019, 44805, 44827 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.

DLRadar's composite for Richland 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.
