Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Lansing, MI (ZIP 48906) sits in Clinton County within the Lansing-East Lansing metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 38.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $19,520. 20% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES, AND FLOODING, 2024). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,260 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). 34.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Ingham County, MI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over.

What these numbers say together
Lansing, MI (ZIP 48906) sits in Clinton County within the Lansing-East Lansing metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 38.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $19,520. 20% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES, AND FLOODING, 2024). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,260 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). 34.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Ingham County, MI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $57,445, fair market rent of $1,270 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $164,303, up 3.2% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 27.2%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
