Lake County, OR: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

For Lake County, Oregon, DLRadar turns county and parcel public records into a single distress score per ZIP. The county's ZIP scores run from 10 up to 18/100. 10 ZIP codes are tracked county-wide, averaging 11/100 distress. The county's lending-headwind score sits at 62/100 (elevated).

The county market is in a recovery phase: home prices rose 2.5% over the past year, at 29/100 phase confidence. While the county appreciates, some owners fall behind anyway so the laggard ZIPs are the opening.

Even appreciating at +2.5% YoY (29/100 confidence), distress still hides in specific ZIPs where the scoring still flags pressure. Bank stress at 62/100 signals what's coming: expect more lender-driven inventory soon.

The sharpest Lake County readings come from 97758 (18/100), 97635 (13/100), 97620 (10/100), 97630 (10/100), 97636 (10/100), 97637 (10/100) — open any for the parcel detail. The breakdown continues through 97638, 97640, 97641, 97735 and more.

Underneath the scores, the Lake County ZIPs on file show a median household income near $58,639 (below the US norm), a 14.8% poverty rate, residents with a median age around 48.8, an owner-occupied share of 56%, vacancy near 37.7%, home values averaging roughly $277,125, below the US. Read together, they shape the kind of distress to expect and the buyer pool on exit.

With a minimal 11/100 reading over 10 ZIPs, the opportunity hides below the average rather than a blanket buy. Subscribers get each Lake County parcel's owner, APN and address, its own score, the lender behind it and an exit read.

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

For an acquisition buyer, the practical use of Lake County, Oregon's scores is triage: the ZIPs and parcels carrying the highest composite are where motivated sellers and below-market exits concentrate, while lower-scored areas rarely justify the marketing spend. These Lake County numbers come straight from public filings and refresh as new ones post; a missing source produces a blank field, never an estimate.

Drilling in, Lake County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 97758 (18/100), 97635 (13/100), 97620 (10/100), 97630 (10/100), 97636 (10/100), 97637 (10/100). DLRadar also scores 97638, 97640, 97641, 97735 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 Lake 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.
