Whether 55128 runs hot or quiet, its 23/100 composite is built the same deterministic way as every ZIP in the country — from recorded foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, climate and lender signals — so 55128 can be compared directly against any other ZIP in Washington County, Minnesota or nationwide. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed as records update; 55128 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

The 23/100 figure for 55128 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. For a buyer, 55128 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
