Northside Triangle maps to a single census tract in Ithaca, NY and houses 2,627 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.7/10, in the High tier. Against a Ithaca baseline of 41.3%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.3/10.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 9.2/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 20% 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.
At $1,290 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Ithaca commands. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Ithaca, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Downtown and Collegetown. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $52,441.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 9.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
