No ZIP is too small to score: 16602 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 23/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 16602 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

The 23/100 figure for 16602 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. In workflow terms, 16602 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
