River Forest Eviction Risk: Lower , Lansing

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 28.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally.

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 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
