What the numbers mean in Rochester city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Rochester city median would spend about 18% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.1% of residents and 65.4% of households own their home.
