Approach Wheeler County by rank rather than by average — the 10/100 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 Wheeler County data is thin.

The ZIP breakdown for Wheeler County leads with 79057 (21/100), 79061 (16/100), 79003 (7/100), 79011 (7/100), 79096 (6/100), 79079 (5/100). 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.

DLRadar's composite for Wheeler 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.
