Nyssa city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Nyssa city is a small town in Oregon, with 3,220 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #127 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 27.7 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 Nyssa city earn a median of $51,944 a year, 33.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 15.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nyssa city is valued at $172,700, 43.1% below the national figure and 54% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $820 a month, 41.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64% 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.

A median age of 27.7 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.
