Cost of living in Tri-City, Oregon

Tri-City, Oregon has about 4,234 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $246,600.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Douglas County is $1,212 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Tri-City. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Oregon's prices sit at 103.4 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Oregon taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 0.0% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Tri-City's exact store tax.

Some places in Oregon add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.18% of income. That is not a Tri-City bill.

In July 2026, a typical Oregon home paid 15.97¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Tri-City's bill.

EIA does not publish a Oregon gasoline price. The West Coast (PADD 5) Except California all-grades price was $5.167 a gallon on September 15, 2026. The weekly file does not include that series, so this is the monthly price. At 12,000 miles a year and 25 mpg, the index counts that as $2,480.16 a year. Those miles are our standard, not a Census figure, and every town in Oregon shares this price.

Among 208 places we list in Oregon with a rent figure, 184 have higher typical rent than Tri-City.
