Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Kaynorth

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 46.5% across Ingham County.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.

SNAP participation runs 26.2% against 15.2% nationally. At $811 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Lansing commands. Food insecurity runs 24.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
