Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 68301, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 18/100 figure for 68301 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. For an operator, 68301 is step one - verify, pull the parcels driving the score, and move straight through to a funded close.
