Northeast Ithaca, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Northeast Ithaca CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,575 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #544 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 57% 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 Northeast Ithaca CDP earn a median of $91,667 a year, 16.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Northeast Ithaca CDP is valued at $349,600, 15.2% above the national figure and 11% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,688 a month, 20.1% above the national figure, or roughly $20,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
