Knappa CDP, OR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Knappa CDP is a very small community in Oregon, with 922 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #236 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 34.6 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 Knappa CDP earn a median of $85,357 a year, 8.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 15% above 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 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Knappa CDP is valued at $409,700, 35% above the national figure and 8% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $986 a month, 29.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,832 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.6% 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.
