Northeast Ithaca Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 8,913 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 5.9–8.6

Northeast Ithaca spans 2 census tracts of Ithaca, NY and houses 8,913 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.9 to 8.6. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. Cost burden runs 47% against 41.3% citywide, putting Northeast Ithaca 5.3% over its own city.

Disability prevalence reaches 19.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Ithaca, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Northwest Ithaca and Northside Triangle score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,497, close to the Ithaca average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $76,731.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
