No ZIP is too small to score: 50608 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 24/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the record is thin for 50608, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.

Behind 50608'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.
