· range 4.5–4.5
Clifford Park maps to a single census tract in Lansing, MI and houses 3,171 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 30.1% citywide, putting Clifford Park 32.0% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,118, 13% above the Lansing average of $993. That places it #21 of 30 neighborhoods in Lansing. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Foster and Potter-Walsh. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $48,974.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
