Treat Scott County, Virginia as a ranked list, not a single market: the spread between its strongest and weakest ZIPs is where the acquisition margin actually sits. Nothing in the Scott County read is modelled: recorder and court filings drive foreclosure and lien signals, FHFA sets the price cycle, FDIC the lender stress, and a thin source stays blank.

Drilling in, Scott County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 24245 (24/100), 24250 (24/100), 24251 (24/100), 24258 (24/100), 24271 (24/100), 24290 (24/100). DLRadar also scores 24202, 24230, 24244, 37642, 24219, 24221 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.

Under Scott 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.
