Benchmarking Rochester’s Poverty

In January 2015 ACT Rochester and the Community Foundation released a report: Benchmarking Rochester's Poverty: A 2015 Update and Deeper Analysis of Poverty in the City of Rochester as a companion and update to the 2013 Special Report on Poverty. The report also compares poverty data based on gender and race, educational attainment, disability, employment, age, and family size and income.

The concentration of Rochester's Poverty was highlighted in a Century Foundation study out of the Center for Urban Research and Urban Education at Rutgers University. A synopsis of the study is available here.
