Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lansing-Eaton
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Lansing eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Eaton County average of 5.5 and in line with the Michigan statewide average of 5.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,154 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 34.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 43.0% of renter households in 2017.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 72nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
