Brook-Lane Eviction Risk: Elevated , East Lansing

Set annual rent against average income of $14,775 and the ratio lands at 90%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. It sits 3.2 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Against Ingham County at 46.5%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened.

SNAP participation runs 40.4% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 77%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 #9,043 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
