The 24/100 figure for 02462 is a composite, not one metric: it rolls up foreclosure and pre-foreclosure activity, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, local lender headwind, and structural risk into a single reading, which is why a ZIP can look calm on price yet score high on distress. Practically, 02462 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
