Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greencroft Park

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. Average gross rent is $880, 11% below the Lansing average.

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. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $56,097.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
