Lansing Eviction Risk: Moderate

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Average gross rent is $798, 20% below the Lansing average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,235 filings here across 8 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2018 at 59.5% of renter households. 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. In a typical year about 46.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $58,015, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
