The number is not local guesswork: 01585's 29/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 01585, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 01585's composite sit distinct signals (foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender and structural), each scored on its own before rolling up, so two ZIPs with the same total can describe very different situations on the ground. For a buyer, 01585 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
