Arlington County, Virginia's 16/100 average over 12 ZIPs says distress here is parcel-specific rather than a blanket buy. A DLRadar subscription opens every Arlington County parcel: owner, APN and address, a score, the bank behind the note and how fast it should sell.

Approach Arlington County by rank rather than by average — the 16/100 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 Arlington County data is thin.

Drilling in, Arlington County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 22101 (25/100), 22201 (15/100), 22202 (15/100), 22203 (15/100), 22204 (15/100), 22205 (15/100). DLRadar also scores 22206, 22207, 22209, 22211, 22213, 22214 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 Arlington 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.
