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.

DLRadar's composite for Bucks 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.
