O'Brien, OR population, income and ZIP codes

O'Brien CDP is a very small community in Oregon, with 528 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #282 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 70.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 O'Brien CDP earn a median of $29,141 a year, 62.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 61% 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 7.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in O'Brien CDP is valued at $145,900, 51.9% below the national figure and 61% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 100% 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.

A median age of 70.1 puts O'Brien CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 528 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare O'Brien CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for O'Brien CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
