Lebanon city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lebanon city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 18,978 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 37.3 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 Lebanon city earn a median of $56,740 a year, 27.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 16% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lebanon city is valued at $295,900, 2.5% below the national figure and 22% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,274 a month, 9.4% below the national figure, or roughly $15,288 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 56.4% 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.
