In Suffolk County, Massachusetts, 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 figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Suffolk County data is thin.
