Mill City city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mill City city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,876 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #173 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 37.1 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 Mill City city earn a median of $70,000 a year, 10.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mill City city is valued at $289,900, 4.4% below the national figure and 23% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,204 a month, 14.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,448 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
