Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Coachlight

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Ingham County average of 46.5%. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Average gross rent is $694, 30% below the Lansing average. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.6 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $52,835, annual rent is just 16%.

Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
