Creswell city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Creswell city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 5,625 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #98 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Creswell city earn a median of $95,865 a year, 22.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 30% above the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 2.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Creswell city is valued at $355,100, 17% above the national figure and 6% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,530 a month, 8.8% above the national figure, or roughly $18,360 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.2% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.4% 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.
