Fairview maps to a single census tract in Lansing, MI, population 2,156. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Lansing baseline of 30.1%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,600 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,232, 24% above the Lansing average of $993. 18.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Food insecurity affects 32.1% of adults, 14.3 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
That places it #13 of 30 neighborhoods in Lansing. For a like-for-like read, Groesbeck and Marscot score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
