Treat Franklin County, Pennsylvania as a ranked list, not a single market: the spread between its strongest and weakest ZIPs is where the acquisition margin actually sits. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Franklin County data is thin.

Drilling in, Franklin County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 17201 (22/100), 17202 (22/100), 17210 (22/100), 17214 (22/100), 17217 (22/100), 17219 (22/100). DLRadar also scores 17220, 17221, 17222, 17225, 17232, 17235, 17237, 17240 and more 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.

Under Franklin 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.
