Stafford Square is a 3-tract neighborhood of Rochester, NH, population 11,544. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 28.6% citywide, putting Stafford Square 17.1% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,017, 26% below the Rochester average of $1,369.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 5.4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $59,235.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
