Average gross rent is $694, 30% below the Lansing average of $993. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Lansing rate of 30.1%. SNAP participation is 24.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 30 mapped neighborhoods of Lansing, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rennaissance and Marscot. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
