Jackson County, OR Property Records & Statistics

Renter-occupied housing makes up 25.52% of occupied homes, a bit under the state figure of 26.17% but higher than the national 21.81%, so most households own while a sizable minority rent.
The median home value is $319,100, just below Oregon's $323,675 and far above the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.78% is slightly higher than the state rate of 0.75% and the national 0.74%. Buyers here pay prices close to the state norm, with a tax rate that is a touch above average.
Median household income is $59,740, lower than Oregon's $64,391 and the national $65,108. That gap matters because rents and home prices are close to or above state levels. The unemployment rate of 3.32% is also higher than the 2.99% for the state and 2.87% for the nation.
In short, Jackson County offers mid-range home values by Oregon standards, but incomes trail and unemployment is above average, which makes housing costs relatively demanding for the typical household.
