ZIP code 97737

ZIP 97737 is a very small community in Klamath County, Oregon, with 525 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 428 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 46.6 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 ZIP 97737 earn a median of $86,083 a year, 9.6% 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 97737 is valued at $269,400, 11.2% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 525 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 97737 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 97737 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.

ZIP 97737 is tabulated inside Klamath 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 97737 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 97737 reports a median household income of $86,083, 40% above the $61,417 county median, and 20% above the $71,485 typical OR ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $269,400, close to the county figure and 30% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 97737.

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 97737 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.
