How students change Brockport’s other numbers

Read the town’s other grades with this in mind. How TownRatings handles college towns →

Jobs & income B

Students who live off campus count in the Census poverty figures: 16.5% of Brockport residents are below the poverty line, 12.1% when college students are left out (that estimate could be off by 8 points either way). 46% of the students themselves are below the line. In college towns, the Jobs & income grade uses the rate without students and leaves unemployment out.

Cost of living B−

The Cost grade leaves out the share of renters paying 30% or more of income on rent wherever students are a quarter of residents or more (40% here): it would mostly measure student incomes.

Health A−

CDC’s estimates follow each place’s age mix, and Brockport’s median age is 23.3 (New York 39.8), so the adult figures describe a young population.

Safety A−

Crime is counted per resident, and students who live here count as residents. A college with its own police department reports its incidents under that department, not the city.
