Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Northeast Ithaca

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Against the Tompkins County average of 7.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 94% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
