Read Alachua County, Florida as a heat map for effort — the county's low composite of 28/100 hides wide ZIP-level variation, and the return comes from chasing the hot ZIPs, not the average.

Each code carries its own composite built from that ZIP's foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien and lender signals, so two neighboring ZIPs can diverge sharply even inside one county.

The Alachua 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.
