Oregon's Average Household Income
Both the average covered pay and PCPI provide only a single piece of information about the income of Oregonians. Neither piece of data illustrates the wide differences in annual income from one person or family to the next. The U.S. Census Bureau, however, conducts an annual survey that provides some insight into this topic – the American Community Survey.

No one wage or income measure is relevant to all questions about the poverty or prosperity of Oregon’s population. Each of these measures, from the minimum wage to average income, has important uses and an invested target audience. While no measure is a perfect indicator, each helps to illustrate the financial situation of Oregon’s individuals and families.
