No ZIP is too small to score: 42266 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; 42266 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

The 30/100 for 42266 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number. Practically, 42266 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
