In Skagit County, Washington, 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. All Skagit County inputs are public record — recorder, court, FHFA and FDIC — and the score is rebuilt on ingest rather than modelled forward.
