Big metro or rural, 17268 runs through one identical public-record model, so its 22/100 sits on the same scale as every other ZIP in Franklin County, Pennsylvania and the nation. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 17268, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.
