No ZIP is too small to score: 85550 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 28/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Nothing here is interpolated — where a source is thin for 85550, DLRadar leaves it blank rather than guessing, and re-scores as new records post.
Behind 85550's composite sit distinct signals (foreclosure, mortgage, tax-lien, lender and structural), each scored on its own before rolling up, so two ZIPs with the same total can describe very different situations on the ground.
