How the Mississippi county reports are scored: each Mississippi report reads its county's foreclosure filings, Mississippi tax-lien and tax-deed records, FHA mortgage delinquency in Mississippi (ninety-day rate 1.8%, December 2025), the FDIC stress of Mississippi lenders (57 chartered in Mississippi) and FEMA/NFIP pressure on Mississippi (541 NFIP claims, three years), then scores every Mississippi ZIP 0-100.

Neshoba County leads Mississippi on the opportunity index at #15 nationally with 8 scored ZIPs. Every Mississippi report is rebuilt monthly from public records; a Mississippi county whose data lapses keeps its Mississippi page and says so.
