Northside Triangle Eviction Risk: High , Ithaca

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.3/10. Against the Tompkins County average of 7.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 9.2/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 61% here against 51.4% across Tompkins County. Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally.

At $1,290 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Ithaca commands. Nationally it ranks #2,339 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the NY average is 7.7, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $52,441.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
