Used properly, Jefferson County, West Virginia's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Jefferson County as a whole. These Jefferson County numbers come straight from public filings and refresh as new ones post; a missing source produces a blank field, never an estimate.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Jefferson County are 25414 (19/100), 25425 (19/100), 25430 (19/100), 25432 (19/100), 25438 (19/100), 25442 (19/100). DLRadar also scores 25443, 25446, 20135 across the county. Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.

Under Jefferson 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.
