What distress index means
The most stable county housing markets, with the lowest mortgage delinquency, long-term vacancy, and eviction pressure on Curb Report's composite Distress Index. The index needs at least two of its three inputs, so it scores about 1,800 of the roughly 3,140 US counties; a county missing from this table is unmeasured, not necessarily stable.
