Mosier city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Mosier city is a very small community in Oregon, with 675 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #261 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Mosier city earn a median of $71,406 a year, 9.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mosier city is valued at $338,300, 11.5% above the national figure and 10% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,469 a month, 4.5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.7% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 84% 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.
