The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 07849 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

Behind 07849'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.
