Forest View takes in 2 census tracts of Lansing, MI and houses 7,173 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Lansing rate of 30.1%.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
That places it #19 of 30 neighborhoods in Lansing. Average gross rent runs $1,051, close to the Lansing average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $55,617.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
