How to read these rankings

Concentration tables

Use the share rankings to find counties where out-of-state or absentee classifications make up a larger portion of mailable public-record rows.

Volume table

Use the raw-row ranking to find deeper files. High volume does not establish unique people, motivation, deliverability, or likely deals.

Key findings

  • In Charlotte County, FL, 51% of mailable public-record rows have an out-of-state address — the highest concentration in the covered states.
  • Lee County, FL has the highest raw volume (143,120 out-of-state mailing rows).
  • Across 67 qualifying counties, Florida shows a 14% weighted out-of-state mailing-row share.

Top counties by out-of-state mailing-row share

Counties where the largest share of mailable public-record rows carry an address outside the parcel's state. Counties under 500 mailable rows are excluded from share rankings as too small to compare responsibly.

Top counties by absentee mailing-row share

Absentee and out-of-state rows are separate source-derived classifications based on mailing-address comparisons; source semantics do not guarantee that one count nests inside the other. Neither classification establishes unique people or motivated sellers.

Counties with the most out-of-state mailing rows

Absolute count of public-record rows with an out-of-state mailing address. This volume cut shows file depth rather than concentration, unique people, or likely deal count.

State roll-up

Out-of-state mailing-row share by state, weighted by mailable rows (total out-of-state rows ÷ total mailable rows across each state's qualifying counties).

StateOut-of-state rateCounties
Florida14%67
Montana12%56
Tennessee9%85

Methodology and evidence limits

Every figure is derived from normalized public parcel or assessment records. A row is classified as out of state when its mailing state differs from the parcel state, and absentee when its mailing address does not match the parcel address. These are separate source-derived classifications; source normalization does not guarantee that one count nests inside the other.

Counts and shares describe public-record mailing rows. They do not establish verified unique people, seller motivation, deliverability, response rate, property quality, or likely deal count. The same party may appear in more than one underlying record where a source or normalization process does not collapse it.

Counties without a reliable mailing-address comparison are omitted from the rankings rather than backfilled. Share rankings also exclude counties with fewer than 500 mailable rows, because a high percentage over a small file is not a stable comparison.

Sources contributing ranked rows:

  • Florida DOR
  • Montana State Library cadastral
  • Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury

Coverage is computed from the qualifying rows in this edition; it is not presented as a national census. Open any county from the tables to inspect its source vintage and additional caveats on the canonical county page.
