Approach Ohio County by rank rather than by average — the 29/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Ohio County data is thin.

At the ZIP level, the sharpest readings in Ohio County are 26003 (33/100), 26036 (32/100), 26032 (31/100), 26059 (26/100), 26060 (26/100), 26074 (26/100). 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 Ohio 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.
