The sharpest non-environmental signals are structural risk (61/100), institutional ownership (49/100), construction/permit lag (27/100). construction/permit lag (27/100) and mortgage stress (8/100) stay muted.

The 28/100 figure for 48198 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.
