Veneta city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Veneta city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 5,191 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #102 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 47.5 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 Veneta city earn a median of $61,949 a year, 21.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Veneta city is valued at $318,800, 5.1% above the national figure and 16% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,624 a month, 15.5% above the national figure, or roughly $19,488 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80.9% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
