Jordan Valley, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Jordan Valley city is a very small community in Oregon, with 163 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #373 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 48.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Jordan Valley city earn a median of $46,429 a year, 40.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% below 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 11.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Jordan Valley city is valued at $118,800, 60.8% below the national figure and 69% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 163 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Jordan Valley city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Jordan Valley city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
