Wexford Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lansing

Against Ingham County at 46.5%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. At $819 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Lansing commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Housing insecurity runs 21.4% against 14.2% nationally. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $50,175.

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.
