Rennaissance Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lansing

Cost burden runs 60% here against 46.5% across Ingham County. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally.

At $871 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Lansing commands. It sits 0.6 points above the Ingham County average of 4.6. 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. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10. Statewide the MI average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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