Every county and every ZIP in one state ranked by DLRadar's opportunity index, with phase, drivers, component scores and the plain-English reason each county ranks where it does.
- County table: national and in-state rank, rank change, index, phase, confidence, primary and secondary driver, seven component scores
- ZIP table: national rank, index, phase, capital-opportunity score, driver, signal volume
- New, fading and exited-top-25 flags so you see movement, not just position
- Records behind each county and ZIP: distress parcels, tax-delinquent parcels and discounted listings in DLRadar's property files (Florida today)
- A ranking, not a forecast: the index's backtest since 2000 shows a 25% hit rate, published on the free index
- Not included: phone numbers, emails or skip tracing. Public-record data, dated, with the source named in every file.

Questions
- What is the opportunity index?
- DLRadar's 0-100 blend of property stress, foreclosure pressure, listing discounts, bank stress, insurance retreat, vacancy and auction activity, normalised to the local housing base and recomputed every night. The phase label (WATCHLIST, EMERGING, ACTIVE and so on) summarises where the index sits and how it is moving.
- How current is the data?
- The as-of date is shown on this page, on the checkout and in the file header. A package is only offered while its datasets pass DLRadar's freshness gate; if a source stalls, the package is withdrawn until it refreshes.
- Can I resell or republish the file?
- No. Each file is licensed to the buyer and every row carries a per-order fingerprint. You may use it for your own research, marketing and acquisitions.
