North Bend city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

North Bend city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 10,231 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #64 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 North Bend city earn a median of $72,483 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Bend city is valued at $306,600, 1.1% above the national figure and 19% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,036 a month, 26.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.2% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.1% 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.
