No ZIP is too small to score: 62538 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 10/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Where the public record is thin for 62538, the field stays empty rather than modeled, and fills in as new documents post.
