The number is not local guesswork: 72209's 35/100 comes from the same nationwide foreclosure, tax, mortgage and lender model, making it directly comparable anywhere. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 72209, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.

The 35/100 figure for 72209 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.
