No ZIP is too small to score: 16863 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 31/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 16863, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

16863's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress.
