Morrow ZIP codes — Morrow County, Oregon

Morrow County is a mid-size town in Oregon, with 12,249 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 36.2 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 Morrow County earn a median of $70,217 a year, 10.6% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Morrow County is valued at $229,800, 24.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $910 a month, 35.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.

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.
