Selma CDP, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Selma CDP is a very small community in Oregon, with 654 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #266 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Selma CDP earn a median of $44,161 a year, 43.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 12% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Selma CDP is valued at $236,200, 22.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.8% 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.

With 654 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Selma CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Selma CDP 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.
