All West Virginia readings here are built only from verifiable public records — foreclosure filings, mortgage and tax stress, liens, bank exposure and climate risk — aggregated parcel-to-ZIP-to-county. Given the expansion tilt statewide, what matters is where West Virginia counties and ZIPs deviate, not the average itself.

Pick a West Virginia county to go deeper, or open a single ZIP's parcel detail. Inside DLRadar, each West Virginia parcel carries owner and contact detail, APN, a distress score, lender exposure and exit-velocity read.

However concentrated West Virginia's distress turns out to be, the whole state runs through one nationwide scoring engine — court and recorder filings, FHFA price data and FDIC lender stress — so West Virginia's numbers mean exactly what they mean anywhere else. Nothing is interpolated: West Virginia scores rebuild from public records as they post, so the read reflects the documents, not an estimate.

Within West Virginia, the markets DLRadar flags first are Roane County, Pleasants County, Calhoun County, Grant County, Mcdowell County , and at ZIP level 25015 (37/100), 25025 (37/100), 25035 (37/100), 25039 (37/100), 25054 (37/100) score highest.

Each West Virginia score is a composite, combining foreclosure activity, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind before they roll up to the number shown.

However large or small West Virginia is, the acquisition path holds: start at the county with the sharpest reading, drill to its highest-scoring ZIPs, then to the individual parcels behind those scores — and DLRadar carries the West Virginia deal from that signal through capital and closing.

Since every input is public and rules-based, each West Virginia number decomposes into the records that produced it — court filings, county tax and lien records, FHFA and FDIC data — leaving no unexplained or modeled component in the West Virginia score.
