No ZIP is too small to score: 21661 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 19/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 21661 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

21661's score blends several independent layers — foreclosure and mortgage stress, tax and lien delinquency, bank headwind and structural exposure — into one 0–100 number, so understanding the components matters as much as the headline for anyone screening the ZIP. Practically, 21661 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
