Behind every Wisconsin number is a public record: foreclosure, tax, mortgage, lien, bank and climate signals, each traceable and rolled up from parcel to ZIP to county. Since Wisconsin runs peak overall, the edge is in the divergence — the counties and ZIPs that don't match the headline.

Pick a Wisconsin county to go deeper, or head directly to a ZIP score. A DLRadar subscription unlocks every distressed Wisconsin property: owner, address and APN, a distress score, lender exposure and exit-velocity read.

Regardless of Wisconsin's statewide average, each market is graded on the identical public-record model — recorded foreclosures, tax delinquency, liens, mortgage stress and lender headwind — so Wisconsin's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else. Every figure is traceable: Wisconsin signals trace to public federal and county records, and re-scores as new records post.

County by county, the markets DLRadar flags first are Forest County, Oconto County, Green County, Clark County, Price County ; the top ZIP codes are 53110 (38/100), 53129 (38/100), 53130 (38/100), 53132 (38/100), 53154 (38/100).

The Wisconsin numbers are not single measures but composites, combining foreclosure activity, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind so two markets with the same total can differ sharply underneath.

The way to act on Wisconsin doesn't change with the state: start at the county with the sharpest reading, drill to its highest-scoring ZIPs, then to the individual parcels behind those scores , then the platform takes it from signal to closed acquisition.

As the scoring is fully auditable, a Wisconsin score can be traced back to the exact filings behind it — foreclosure dockets, tax rolls, recorded liens, FHFA price series and FDIC call reports — so nothing about the Wisconsin read is a black box.
