Oak Grove, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Oak Grove CDP is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 17,408 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #40 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 44.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Oak Grove CDP earn a median of $81,611 a year, 3.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% above 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oak Grove CDP is valued at $485,200, 59.9% above the national figure and 28% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,694 a month, 20.5% above the national figure, or roughly $20,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.9% 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 64.9% 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.

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.
