Population and households in Greece
Household size in Greece

| Change | −0.09 | −0.14 | −0.03 | −0.03 |
Households in Greece are small: just 2.27 people on average, compared with 2.65 nationally. That is typical of places where many people live alone or as couples, and fewer have children at home. Household size has edged down from 2.35 in 2006–10, mirroring the country.

Median age in Greece
| Period | Greece | Rochester area | New York | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | 46.0 | 39.5 | 38.3 | 37.7 |

| Change | −1.4 | +2.7 | +2.5 | +2.3 |
Greece skews older: half of its residents are older than 44.6, well above the national median of 40.1. That usually means more empty nesters and retirees, and fewer young families. Since 2006–10, the median age has dropped from 46.0, even as the national median rose.

Renting is most common in the north and least common in the southeast. The renter share is up 8.1 points from 2006–10, a much bigger shift than nationally.

| Change | +1.5 pts | −1.8 pts | −0.6 pts | −1.8 pts |
Vacancy is on the low side in Greece: 7.7% of homes sit empty, against 9.6% nationally, which points to steady demand for housing. The picture is much the same across the Rochester area. Vacancy is up 1.5 points from 2006–10, even as the national rate fell.
Vacant homes: homes with no one living in them, including vacation homes and homes for sale or rent. Source: BestNeighborhood calculations from U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year block-group estimates (table B25002).
Age of homes in Greece
| Period | Greece | Rochester area | New York | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2020–24 | 1969 | 1966 | 1961 | 1980 |
| Change | +4 | +3 | +5 | +6 |
The housing in Greece is old by national standards: the median home dates to 1969, against 1980 for the U.S., so buyers will find more older houses, some of them due for updates. The median year built has moved up from 1965 in 2006–10, a sign of steady new building. Newer construction is concentrated in the northwest, while the east has the oldest housing.

Rent in Greece
| Period | Greece | Rochester area | New York | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–10 | $681 | $810 | $1,095 | $965 |

| Change | +$407 | +$415 | +$698 | +$606 |
Rent in Greece runs $1,089 a month at the median, utilities included, well below the U.S. median of $1,571. Rents are up $407 a month from 2006–10, a 60% rise, a slower climb than the nation's. Rent takes 37.0% of the typical renter's income, well over the 30% mark often used to define affordable rent, so many renters here are stretched. Renters on a budget will find the lowest rents in the southwest; the highest are in the east.

About these numbers
Every figure on this page is a BestNeighborhood calculation from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), built up from the Census block groups that make up Greece. Each ACS 5-year release pools five years of responses; this page shows the last 15 releases, 2006–10 through 2020–24. Neighboring releases share four of their five years, so they move gradually and small changes between them are within the survey's margin of error; in small places the lines can jump from one release to the next for the same reason. The maps show the same measures for each neighborhood, ranked against the whole country.
