Rennaissance is a one-tract neighborhood of Lansing, MI, population 4,737. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Lansing baseline of 30.1%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 25.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

14.8% 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. Average gross rent is $871, 12% below the Lansing average of $993.

That places it #10 of 30 neighborhoods in Lansing. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $38,989.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
