No ZIP is too small to score: 29403 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 36/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 29403 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

Behind 29403'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. In workflow terms, 29403 is a go/no-go - the score says whether to drill in, then DLRadar carries you to parcels, capital and closing.
