No ZIP is too small to score: 29006 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 30/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 29006 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

The 30/100 figure for 29006 is a composite, not one metric: it rolls up foreclosure and pre-foreclosure activity, mortgage stress, tax delinquency and liens, local lender headwind, and structural risk into a single reading, which is why a ZIP can look calm on price yet score high on distress. In workflow terms, 29006 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
