ZIP code 97348

ZIP 97348 is a small town in Linn County, Oregon, with 2,103 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #233 of 428 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 36.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 ZIP 97348 earn a median of $107,273 a year, 36.6% above the national figure of $78,538. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 5.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 97348 is valued at $321,700, 6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,694 a month, 20.5% above the national figure, or roughly $20,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.4% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.

ZIP 97348 is tabulated inside Linn County, Oregon, one of 17 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 428 across Oregon. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 97348 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 97348 reports a median household income of $107,273, 22% above the $87,747 county median, and 50% above the $71,485 typical OR ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $321,700, 11% below the county figure and 16% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,694 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Oregon charges 0% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 97348.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 97348 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
