Cascade Locks city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cascade Locks city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,529 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #192 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 46.2 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 Cascade Locks city earn a median of $65,357 a year, 16.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cascade Locks city is valued at $330,800, 9% above the national figure and 12% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,178 a month, 16.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,136 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
