Churchill Downs is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lansing, MI and houses 7,501 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Lansing baseline of 30.1%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. SNAP participation is 30.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Running hot is economic stress at 7.5/10. Food insecurity affects 29.9% of adults, 12.1 points above the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,095, 10% above the Lansing average of $993.
That places it #1 of 30 neighborhoods in Lansing. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $52,459. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
