Springfield city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Springfield city is a small city in Oregon, with 61,642 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 37.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Springfield city earn a median of $67,211 a year, 14.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 15.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Springfield city is valued at $323,800, 6.7% above the national figure and 14% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,201 a month, 14.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,412 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
