Below, Oregon's numbers in more depth: where its $83,011 median ranks, the income lines for the top quarter and top tenth, a by-age earnings table, and county comparisons.
Oregon's median household income is $83,011, 19th of 51 states and DC and 3% above the national median of $80,734. Keep in mind the numbers aren't price-adjusted, so they compare incomes, not purchasing power.
The top-25% line is roughly $141,824 here and $141,925 for the US as a whole. 13% of households here earn $200,000+, against 13% in the US overall.
The single-year 2024 estimate puts the median at $85,220, +3% versus the five-year figure. The five-year number pools 2020–2024 and is steadier; the one-year number is more current but has a wider margin of error.
Roughly 13% of households in Oregon sit in the $200,000-and-up bracket. By household income, the top 25% start at about $141,824, and the top 10% sit above $200,000. The table marks lines that fall above $200,000 rather than guessing their value: the Census groups everyone above that amount together, so the exact top-5% and top-1% cutoffs can't be read from this data.
If your household earns the US median of $80,734, you'd be about top 51% among Oregon households, below the middle.
Comparing the two lines gives a ratio of 1.73 (top quarter over median), narrower than the 1.77 seen nationwide.
| Line | Household income |
|---|---|
| Median (top 50%) | $82,106 |
| Top 25% | $141,824 |
| Top 10% | Above $200,000 (top bracket) |
| Top 5% | Above $200,000 (top bracket) |
| Top 1% | Above $200,000 (top bracket) |
Looking at individual earners rather than households, the Oregon median climbs 39% from the 25–34 group ($44,688) to the 45–54 group ($62,049). Compared age-for-age with the nation, the gap averages −1% and is largest at 65+: $33,516 here, $34,745 nationwide. These figures are personal earnings (wages plus self-employment) from Census microdata, so they're lower than household income, which can combine several earners.

| 25–34 | $44,688 | $46,177 |
| 35–44 | $59,662 | $58,657 |

| 55–64 | $55,622 | $55,860 |
| 65+ | $33,516 | $34,745 |
