Santa Clara, OR population, income and ZIP codes

Santa Clara CDP is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 10,623 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #61 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 45.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Santa Clara CDP earn a median of $82,530 a year, 5.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Santa Clara CDP is valued at $381,700, 25.8% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,571 a month, 11.7% above the national figure, or roughly $18,852 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 78.4% 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.

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.
