Roseburg city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Roseburg city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 23,773 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #28 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 39.8 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 Roseburg city earn a median of $52,928 a year, 32.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% below 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 21.9% 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 Roseburg city is valued at $266,600, 12.1% below the national figure and 29% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,015 a month, 27.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 53% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
