Behind 28731'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 28731 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
