Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Genesee

81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Cost burden runs 36% here against 46.5% across Ingham County. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 23.7% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,068, close to the Lansing average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
