How Oregon compares. Among the 100 largest places in Ohio, Oregon is #91 by population, #95 for remote work (#1 = most), #18 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #20 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Lucas County, is #13 of 88 counties for average pay ($62,231).
Oregon has 19,799 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.2% of the population of Ohio. It covers 29 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 694 people per square mile. The median age is 45.1, 14% older than the state median (45.1 against 39.7).
The median gross rent is $900 a month (rent plus utilities), 13% below the state median ($900 against $1,034). Over a year that is 13.1% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $204,600, which is 2.5 times the median household income ($82,197); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 75.3% of households own their home, 12% above the state average (75.3% against 67.2%).
The Toledo, OH metropolitan area has 291,530 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $48,220 a year, 5% below the national median ($48,220 against $50,980).

The area is most specialised in production (1.8 times) and transportation and material moving (1.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($101,010) and architecture and engineering ($84,890).

25.4% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 19% below the state share (25.4% against 31.5%). 2.9% of residents were born outside the United States, 44% below the state share (2.9% against 5.2%). The poverty rate is 8.5%, 36% below the state rate (8.5% against 13.3%).

About 905 mm (36 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (104 mm) and Jan the driest (54 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
