Amity city, OR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Amity city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,972 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #166 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 32.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Amity city earn a median of $93,438 a year, 19% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% above the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Amity city is valued at $357,300, 17.8% above the national figure and 5% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,451 a month, 3.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,412 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
