Richland, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Richland city is a very small community in Oregon, with 178 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #368 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 54.7 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 Richland city earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 44.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Richland city is valued at $205,000, 32.4% below the national figure and 46% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $833 a month, 40.8% below the national figure, or roughly $9,996 across a full year. 65.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 54.7 puts Richland city 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 178 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Richland city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for Richland city 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.
