Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Titus Flats
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 7.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Tompkins County average of 6.5 and below the New York statewide average of 6.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 10.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
