No ZIP is too small to score: 97230 passes through the same foreclosure, tax, mortgage and bank-stress model as any major-metro ZIP, so its 26/100 composite is a like-for-like number rather than an isolated estimate. Every figure is auditable to a public dataset and refreshed on ingest; 97230 shows blanks, not estimates, wherever the record is sparse.

97230's headline rolls up several separately-scored signals, which is why two ZIPs can share a composite yet face very different distress. Practically, 97230 works as a screen — verify the reading, drill to the specific parcels driving it, and carry the deal through capital and closing on the platform.
