Barnesdale, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Barnesdale CDP is a very small community in Oregon, with 157 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #378 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 11% of them. The median age here is 64.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Barnesdale CDP earn a median of $44,643 a year, 43.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Barnesdale CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $1,568 a month, 11.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 42.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. 74.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 64.3 puts Barnesdale CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 157 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Barnesdale CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Barnesdale CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
