Rochester, NH is covered by 3 USPS ZIP codes serving a combined population of 29,816 according to Census ACS 5-Year Estimates.

The table below lists every ZIP by population, so you can see which neighborhoods carry the weight of the city total and which are smaller pockets of the same municipal boundary.

Aggregated across every ZIP in Rochester, the median household income averages $82,850 and per-capita income averages $41,552. Poverty rate runs at 6.5% and unemployment at 2.4%. On housing, the average median home value is $292,767 with median rent of $1,371 per month, and 69.5% of occupied units are owner-occupied.
