Why doesn't this list use the usual quality floor?

Cheapest-ZIPs lists normally include only ZIPs with HavenScore: 60 or above. No ZIP in Itasca County, MN clears that floor this month, so this page shows the county's most affordable scored ZIPs instead — with each ZIP's HavenScore shown, so the trade-off stays visible.

How is "most affordable" measured here?
