No ZIP is too small to score: 25901 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 23/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 25901 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.
