The point of scoring Lehigh County, Pennsylvania is to narrow it — the high-composite ZIPs carry the distress, and everything below them rarely repays the outreach cost.

Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.
DLRadar's composite for Lehigh 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.
