Sublimity city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sublimity city is a small town in Oregon, with 2,951 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #138 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 48.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sublimity city earn a median of $78,007 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 9.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sublimity city is valued at $462,800, 52.5% above the national figure and 23% above the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,497 a month, 6.5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,964 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 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
