· range 6.2–8.7
Barnard takes in 5 census tracts of Rochester, NY, population 23,287. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Rochester rate of 32.0%.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.2 to 8.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,227 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Rochester commands.
That places it #36 of 36 neighborhoods in Rochester. The closest comparables inside the same city are Convention District and ABC Streets Neighborhood.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $64,332. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
