Bay City city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bay City city is a small town in Oregon, with 2,022 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #164 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 61% of them. The median age here is 41.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Bay City city earn a median of $80,329 a year, 2.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bay City city is valued at $337,500, 11.2% above the national figure and 11% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,146 a month, 18.5% below the national figure, or roughly $13,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
