Yamhill County, OR Property Records & Statistics
Yamhill County has a median rent of $1,321.50, well above the Oregon median of $1,001.50 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 27.34% of occupied homes, slightly above the state's 26.17% and the national 21.81%, though most households still own their homes.
The median home value is $419,350, considerably higher than $323,675 for Oregon and $173,750 nationally. The median property tax rate of 0.75% matches the state rate of 0.75% and is just above the national rate of 0.74%, so the higher cost of ownership here comes from home prices rather than tax rates.
Household incomes are strong. The median household income of $91,037 is well above $64,391 statewide and $65,108 nationally, which helps offset the higher housing costs. The unemployment rate of 2.9% is a little below the state's 2.99% and slightly above the national 2.87%, so employment conditions are close to typical.
Overall, the figures describe a higher-cost county with elevated rents and home values, tax rates in line with the state, incomes well above average, and a stable job market.
