Rivergrove, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Rivergrove city is a very small community in Oregon, with 645 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #269 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 36% of them. The median age here is 42.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Rivergrove city earn a median of $208,158 a year, 165% above the national figure of $78,538 and 181% above the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. 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 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rivergrove city is valued at $880,400, 190.2% above the national figure and 133% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,501 a month, 149% above the national figure, or roughly $42,012 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 90.6% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
