No ZIP is too small to score: 20794 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 27/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. 20794 carries no interpolated values - each figure ties to a public source and refreshes the moment new records land.

In workflow terms, 20794 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
