In Pima County, Arizona, the scores are a targeting tool first: they tell you which ZIPs hold the distress and which owners are most likely under real financial pressure, so limited acquisition effort lands where it converts.

Every one of these is scored independently — a ZIP's composite reflects its own recorded distress, which is why the county average alone hides where the real pressure sits.

The Pima County score is not a single measure but a composite: foreclosure activity, mortgage and tax-lien stress, and local lender headwind each feed it, which is why understanding the components matters as much as the headline number.
