No ZIP is too small to score: 60521 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 29/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 60521, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 29/100 for 60521 sums independent layers - foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender headwind and structural risk - so the mix behind the number matters as much as the number. Practically, 60521 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
