Whether Montague County, Texas carries heavy distress or only a handful of flagged parcels, every score here is built the same deterministic way — from recorded foreclosures, tax delinquency, liens and lender stress — so Montague County can be compared directly against any county in the country.

Approach Montague County by rank rather than by average — the 25/100 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 Montague County data is thin.

The ZIP breakdown for Montague County leads with 76239 (27/100), 76265 (27/100), 76251 (26/100), 76252 (26/100), 76255 (26/100), 76261 (25/100). DLRadar also scores 76270, 76228, 76230, 76225 across the county. Because each ZIP is graded on its own foreclosure, tax and lender record, the county's distress is best read code by code rather than as a single number.

The Montague 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.
