No ZIP is too small to score: 78943 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 24/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 78943 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

78943's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. For a buyer, 78943 is one row in a larger workflow: confirm the score, pull the distressed parcels behind it, then move from signal to funded, closed acquisition through DLRadar.
