Against the Eaton County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 51 evictions over 8 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 6.6% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2013, when 92.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lansing. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
