No ZIP is too small to score: 48811 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 22/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. The score is rebuilt from public data as it updates, so 48811 reflects the current record instead of a stale or modeled snapshot.

48811's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. The point of the 48811 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
