Cornelius city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cornelius city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 13,700 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 35.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Cornelius city earn a median of $90,071 a year, 14.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above 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 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cornelius city is valued at $419,000, 38.1% above the national figure and 11% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,475 a month, 4.9% above the national figure, or roughly $17,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.7% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.1% 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.
