Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 17920 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

The 16/100 figure for 17920 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.
