Approach Baker County by rank rather than by average — the 15/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. Nothing in the Baker County read is modelled: recorder and court filings drive foreclosure and lien signals, FHFA sets the price cycle, FDIC the lender stress, and a thin source stays blank.

The ZIP breakdown for Baker County leads with 31721 (21/100), 39813 (16/100), 39841 (15/100), 39862 (15/100), 39837 (12/100), 39870 (8/100). Because each ZIP is graded on its own foreclosure, tax and lender record, the county's distress is best read code by code rather than as a single number.

The Baker 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.
