Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 56241, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 6/100 for 56241 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number.
