No ZIP is too small to score: 44288 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 19/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 44288 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

Behind 44288'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 44288 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
