No ZIP is too small to score: 60604 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 35/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 60604, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.
The 35/100 figure for 60604 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. The point of the 60604 score is action: it tells you whether to open the ZIP, and DLRadar takes it from there to parcels, funding and close.
