Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brody Neighborhood

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9.5/10. Food insecurity runs 26.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 22.7% against 15.2% nationally. 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 #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
