Because one deterministic model scores every ZIP, 17862's 15/100 can be lined up against any neighbor in Snyder County, Pennsylvania or any ZIP coast to coast. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 17862 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

The 15/100 figure for 17862 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. The point of the 17862 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
