ZIP code 97380

ZIP 97380 is a small town in Lincoln County, Oregon, with 2,116 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #230 of 428 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 38.3 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 97380 earn a median of $58,333 a year, 25.7% below 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 19.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 97380 is valued at $247,700, 18.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $531 a month, 62.2% below the national figure, or roughly $6,372 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.9% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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 97380 is tabulated inside Lincoln County, Oregon, one of 16 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 97380 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 97380 reports a median household income of $58,333, 4% below the $60,591 county median, and 18% below the $71,485 typical OR ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $247,700, 38% below the county figure and 36% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $531 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 97380.

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 97380 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.
