Essex County, VT: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties
Essex County, Vermont is scored end-to-end by DLRadar for property distress, drawn only from deterministic public records. The county's ZIP scores run from 18 up to 20/100. On bank and credit headwind, Essex County scores 50/100. DLRadar scores 12 ZIPs here, with a mean composite of 19/100.
The county market is in a expansion phase: home prices rose 6.2% over the past year, a 46/100-confidence read. Even as prices climb, specific ZIPs still slip so the laggard ZIPs are the opening.
With growth of +6.2% YoY (46/100 confidence), well-bought parcels resell faster so buy those and momentum helps on exit. A moderate 50/100 lender headwind means mixed owner- and bank-driven distress.
By composite, 05846 (20/100), 05840 (19/100), 05858 (19/100), 05901 (19/100), 05902 (19/100), 05903 (19/100) top the county — tap any ZIP to go deeper. Other tracked Essex County ZIPs include 05904, 05905, 05906, 05907, 05824, 05837.
On the housing-and-income side, the ZIPs DLRadar tracks across Essex County show residents with a median age around 51.1, a median household income near $59,141 (below the US norm), home values averaging roughly $166,927, below the US, a 11.5% poverty rate, 87% owner-occupancy, 49.1% of units sitting vacant. These fundamentals drive the depth of motivated supply and the pace of resale.

No county is too small to score: Essex County, Vermont runs through the same foreclosure, tax, lien and bank-stress model as every major metro, so Essex County's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else in Vermont.
The way to work Essex County, Vermont is top-down — start with the highest-scoring ZIPs (up to 20/100 here), then drill to the parcels driving those numbers, rather than blanketing Essex County with undifferentiated outreach. These Essex County numbers come straight from public filings and refresh as new ones post; a missing source produces a blank field, never an estimate.

DLRadar also scores 05904, 05905, 05906, 05907, 05824, 05837 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.
DLRadar's composite for Essex 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.
