ZIP code 97441

ZIP 97441 is a very small community in Douglas County, Oregon, with 351 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #353 of 428 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 26.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 97441 earn a median of $135,567 a year, 72.6% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 97441 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 20.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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 26.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 351 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 97441 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for ZIP 97441 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

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.
