Warrenton city, OR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Warrenton city is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 6,297 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Warrenton city earn a median of $67,430 a year, 14.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% below the $74,006 median for the 228 Oregon cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 5.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Warrenton city is valued at $386,500, 27.4% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,283 a month, 8.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,396 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

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.
