Every Iowa score above is deterministic: each foreclosure, mortgage-stress, tax-delinquency, lien, bank-exposure and climate signal traces back to a specific public record, then rolls up from parcel to ZIP to county. Because Iowa skews expansion, the value isn't the statewide average — it's the spread, where individual counties and ZIPs diverge from it.
