Oregon County, MO Property Records & Statistics
Oregon County has a median rent of $773, above the Missouri median of $704 but below the national median of $840.25. Renters make up a large share of the market: renter-occupied housing is 31.86% of occupied homes, compared with 20.88% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so almost a third of households rent.
The median home value is $129,600, a bit under Missouri's $137,500 and well below the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.54% is lower than both the state rate of 0.76% and the national rate of 0.74%, which keeps the yearly cost of owning a home low.
Incomes and employment are weaker than average. The median household income is $42,045, compared with $55,167 in Missouri and $65,108 nationally. The unemployment rate of 2.71% is higher than the state rate of 2.24%, though it remains just under the national rate of 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures show a county with modest home values and low property taxes but incomes well below state and national levels. Rents are relatively high compared with local earnings, and the large renter share suggests many households do not own their homes.
