Central Point city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Central Point city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 19,183 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #37 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 39.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Central Point city earn a median of $80,450 a year, 2.4% 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Central Point city is valued at $357,700, 17.9% above the national figure and 5% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,268 a month, 9.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,216 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.1% 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.
