Mission, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Mission CDP is a very small community in Oregon, with 938 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #235 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 24.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mission CDP earn a median of $45,750 a year, 41.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 31.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mission CDP is valued at $258,800, 14.7% below the national figure and 31% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $663 a month, 52.8% below the national figure, or roughly $7,956 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 27.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 24.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 938 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mission CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
