Approach Cherokee County by rank rather than by average — the 30/100 county figure conceals the spread, since the returns live in the top-scoring ZIPs. All Cherokee County inputs are public record — recorder, court, FHFA and FDIC — and the score is rebuilt on ingest rather than modelled forward.

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 Cherokee 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.
