The short answer
Housing in Rosendale has a median build year of 1954. On stock that old a house-wide pressure drop is the expected finding rather than a surprising one, because galvanized steel narrows from the inside. The figure dates the housing, not the pipe in any particular house.

Rosendale has 643 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1954 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1954 tells you about the pipe in Rosendale
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Rosendale is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low, and a gauge settles it in a minute. Whole house is worth a call; one tap is usually yours to fix.
