Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Marscot

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. SNAP participation runs 35.4% against 15.2% nationally. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Ingham County at 46.5%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $794, 20% below the Lansing average. Housing insecurity runs 23.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Ingham County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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