Direct answer
How do I compare probate lead coverage across different counties? Do not rank vendors by raw list size. Compare four fields from one exclusive file: court-filing volume, address-match rate, valuation coverage, and the filing-date window. Exclusive inventory reviewed 2026-08-23 holds 2,745 filings across 18 counties, with 700 addresses and 496 valued parcels (median $293,800).
Worked comparison from this exclusive file
Franklin-OH leads volume at 657 filings, but only 135 rows (20.5%) carry an address. Brevard is second in volume (556) and first in addresses (147). Harris is third in volume (399) with zero addresses. PalmBeach has only 40 filings yet 33 addresses (82.5% match). A buyer who ranks counties by volume alone would mail Franklin first and skip PalmBeach; a buyer who ranks by address rate would reverse that order. Both reads are true; they answer different jobs.
