Scores in Sumter County, South Carolina exist to concentrate effort: a handful of ZIPs hold most of the distress, and the rest seldom justify the acquisition cost. 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 Sumter County data is thin.

Drilling in, Sumter County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 29114 (30/100), 29062 (29/100), 29128 (29/100), 29150 (29/100), 29152 (29/100), 29154 (29/100). DLRadar also scores 29168, 29051, 29125, 29153, 29001, 29040, 29162, 29080 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.

The Sumter 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.
