McMinnville city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

McMinnville city is a small city in Oregon, with 34,493 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 McMinnville city earn a median of $70,060 a year, 10.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in McMinnville city is valued at $391,100, 28.9% above the national figure and 4% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,290 a month, 8.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,480 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.1% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.8% 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.
