What stands out in Lansing
Data from Polco GPALStandouts compare Lansing with communities in Michigan or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.
In 2023, Lansing's debt burden score was 64 out of 100; Polco's model expected 92 out of 100. It fell short of expectations.
