Approach Houston County by rank rather than by average — the 18/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. 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 Houston County data is thin.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Houston County are 37051 (26/100), 37185 (22/100), 37050 (21/100), 37101 (21/100), 37181 (21/100), 37061 (13/100).

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.

Under Houston 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.
