No ZIP is too small to score: 12871 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 22/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 12871 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

Behind 12871'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. Practically, 12871 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.
