Yoncalla city, OR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Yoncalla city is a small town in Oregon, with 1,106 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #222 of 426 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 50.7 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 Yoncalla city earn a median of $55,000 a year, 30% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Yoncalla city is valued at $251,100, 17.2% below the national figure and 34% below the $377,700 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,198 a month, 14.8% below the national figure, or roughly $14,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.1% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
A median age of 50.7 puts Yoncalla city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
