East Ithaca CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

East Ithaca CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,372 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #568 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 40.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in East Ithaca CDP earn a median of $108,839 a year, 38.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Ithaca CDP is valued at $320,900, 5.8% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,657 a month, 17.9% above the national figure, or roughly $19,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
