What the Census says about Rome

Rome has 31,795 residents (give or take 47) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19), about 425 people per square mile.

Rome is about 172 miles from the Census center point for Buffalo in a straight line and covers 74.854 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).

Of the 13,870 occupied homes in Rome, 70% heat with natural gas, 5% with heating oil, 18% with electricity and 3% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19).

Rome has 8 points less oil heat than Oneida County as a whole, where 13% of homes burn oil, and 2 points more electric heat than the county's 16% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36065, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 70% of Rome against electricity at 18%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.

Rome has 15,300 housing units, 31% built before 1940 and 81% before 1980, with 8% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Rome home was built in 1955 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.5 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19).

Rome tracks Oneida County on housing age, with the county at 32% pre-1940 and 10% post-2000 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36065, checked 2026-10-19).

56% of Rome homes are single-family detached, 19% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 20% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19).

43% of Rome homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3663418, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 56% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
