No ZIP is too small to score: 60608 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 60608, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.
