Lee County, VA: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Every ZIP in Lee County, Virginia carries a DLRadar distress score assembled from foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender records. Individual Lee County ZIPs score between 15 and 22 on the 0–100 composite. Bank/credit headwind for the county is 51 on a 0–100 scale, a moderate reading. The county spans 11 scored ZIP codes, averaging 17/100 composite distress.

The expansion-phase county posted home values that rose 5.5% over twelve months, a 30/100-confidence read. Even as prices climb, pockets of distress persist so the laggard ZIPs are the opening.

With growth of +5.5% YoY (30/100 confidence), well-bought parcels resell faster — and a rising tide cleans up those exits. A moderate 51/100 lender headwind points to a blend the ZIP scores sort out.

By composite, 24244 (22/100), 24219 (21/100), 37752 (18/100), 24221 (17/100), 24243 (15/100), 24248 (15/100) top the county — tap any ZIP to go deeper. The breakdown continues through 24263, 24265, 24277, 24281, 24282 and more.

Demographically, Lee County's scored ZIPs report median home values around $117,464 (below the national figure), a median age of 46.3, 79% of homes owner-occupied, a 24.2% poverty rate, vacancy near 23.6%, household income averaging about $47,402, below the national median.

Because Lee County, Virginia is scored on the identical public-record model used nationwide, even a quiet county is measured on one scale — letting you weigh Lee County against neighboring markets or the rest of Virginia on equal footing.

The way to work Lee County, Virginia is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 22/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Lee County with undifferentiated outreach. 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 Lee County data is thin.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Lee County are 24244 (22/100), 24219 (21/100), 37752 (18/100), 24221 (17/100), 24243 (15/100), 24248 (15/100). DLRadar also scores 24263, 24265, 24277, 24281, 24282 across the county. 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.

The Lee 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.
