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.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 14%.

It sits 0.8 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6. Average gross rent is $1,082, 9% above the Lansing average.

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. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
