Irrigon city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Irrigon city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,922 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #170 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 35.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Irrigon city earn a median of $66,087 a year, 15.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Irrigon city is valued at $182,200, 39.9% below the national figure and 52% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $736 a month, 47.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,832 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.4% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
