No ZIP is too small to score: 29516 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 28/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 29516, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

Behind 29516'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 29516 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
