Overall, 23602 shows a mixed profile — neither uniformly stressed nor insulated — so opportunity is property-specific. While 23602 carries no listed distressed parcels today, each signal above ties back to a public dataset on the same national scale.

The 23602 read uses the identical public-record model applied coast to coast, which means its 26/100 score means exactly what it means anywhere else, and 23602 stays directly comparable to neighboring ZIPs and the rest of Newport News County, Virginia. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 23602 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

Behind 23602's composite sit distinct signals (foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender and structural), each scored on its own before rolling up, so two ZIPs with the same total can describe very different situations on the ground. The point of the 23602 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
