Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colonial Village

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

SNAP participation runs 26.6% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $828 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Lansing commands. It sits 0.8 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $35,713.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
