Used properly, Braxton County, West Virginia's scores are a triage layer: they rank where motivated sellers cluster so acquisition spend goes to the ZIPs that convert rather than across Braxton County as a whole. All Braxton County inputs are public record — recorder, court, FHFA and FDIC — and the score is rebuilt on ingest rather than modelled forward.
