Tompkins County, not Cayuga Heights
Tompkins County context, not Cayuga Heights figures
These are Tompkins County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Cayuga Heights measurements.
- Establishments in Tompkins County2,230
- Employment at those establishments, Tompkins County50,869
- Covered employment, Tompkins County48,051
- Average annual pay, Tompkins County$69,770
- Average weekly wage, Tompkins County$1,342
- Housing units permitted, Tompkins County337
- Of those, single family, Tompkins County145
- County product, 2024, Tompkins County$7,966,282,000
- County product change over the prior year, Tompkins County6.1 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Tompkins County$70,441
Every figure in this section is published for Tompkins County as a whole and is not a measurement of Cayuga Heights. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- No SBA approvals are recorded to a borrower address in this place in either FOIA release.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.

No, and they are labelled so.

Is zoning published for Cayuga Heights?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
