Ingham County, not Lansing
Ingham County context, not Lansing figures
These are Ingham County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Lansing measurements.
- Establishments in Ingham County6,160
- Employment at those establishments, Ingham County111,995
- Covered employment, Ingham County155,500
- Average annual pay, Ingham County$68,532
- Average weekly wage, Ingham County$1,318
- Housing units permitted, Ingham County377
- Of those, single family, Ingham County191
- County product, 2024, Ingham County$23,568,547,000
- County product change over the prior year, Ingham County3.9 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Ingham County$50,440
Every figure in this section is published for Ingham County as a whole and is not a measurement of Lansing. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Lansing questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Lansing, Michigan?
113,023, in 51,588 households. Lansing city covers 39.37 square miles of land, which is 2,871 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Lansing in?
Lansing lies in more than one. By area it is 84.7 percent in Ingham County, 7.8 percent in Eaton County, 7.5 percent in Clinton County. This page sits under Ingham County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.

$54,382. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $128,700. Median gross rent is $993 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Lansing businesses?
197 7(a) approvals totalling $82.6 m, across 35 lenders, median approval $140,000, plus 73 504 approvals worth $37.6 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Lansing, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Lansing borrowers get paid back?
Of the 24 loans that have reached a final outcome, 24 were paid in full and 0 charged off, a charge off rate of 0.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Lansing in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Lansing appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 260090, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Lansing figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Ingham County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Lansing.
Is zoning published for Lansing?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
