Orange County, VT: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

County-level credit and bank headwind reads 87/100 — elevated, a sign of lender stress locally. DLRadar scores 31 ZIPs here, with a mean composite of 18/100. Across its ZIPs, composite distress spans 16 to 29 out of 100.

Near the cycle top at +4.4% YoY (29/100 confidence), the wins are surgical and a county-wide sweep stays on the shelf. Its 87/100 lender headwind is a buyer tailwind: short sales and foreclosures accelerate.

Approach Orange County by rank rather than by average — the 18/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. What supports the Orange County read is documentary: filings from the recorder and courts, federal price and bank data, and blanks wherever coverage is thin.

The ZIP breakdown for Orange County leads with 05065 (29/100), 05068 (29/100), 05663 (26/100), 05669 (24/100), 05641 (22/100), 05060 (21/100). DLRadar also scores 05654, 05069, 05081, 05649, 05033, 05036, 05038, 05039 and more 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.

Under Orange 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.
