Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairview

32% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $41,600, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Food insecurity runs 32.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,232, 24% above the Lansing average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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