Grass Valley city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Grass Valley city is a very small community in Oregon, with 161 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #375 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Grass Valley city earn a median of $58,313 a year, 25.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Grass Valley city is valued at $120,100, 60.4% below the national figure and 68% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $337 a month, 76% below the national figure, or roughly $4,044 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 6.9% 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 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 63.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
