Scio city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Scio city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,075 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #226 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Scio city earn a median of $82,946 a year, 5.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Scio city is valued at $330,600, 9% above the national figure and 12% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,307 a month, 7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 63.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
