River Forest Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lansing

22% 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, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $735 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Lansing commands. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 25.9% against 15.2% nationally.

Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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