Positions compare Rivergrove with Oregon places in this directory whose estimate has a coefficient of variation of 30% or less (survey measures) or a published PEP value. The marker runs from the lowest value (left) to the highest (right); it is a description, not a score or a recommendation. 8 measures are shown in grey because the survey margin of error is too wide to rank reliably. With 536 residents, Rivergrove has a small ACS sample; prefer the population and geography records for precise comparisons.

How many jobs are located in Rivergrove?
Employers in Rivergrove reported 29 jobs in 2023, -47.3% compared with 2019 (55 jobs).

These are jobs at workplaces inside the city limits, wherever the workers live, unlike resident employment figures.
With fewer than 50 jobs, the industry, earnings and age breakdown is omitted: small LODES counts include confidentiality noise.

Nearby station climate normals
No station in the retained NOAA release meets our complete standard-normal criteria within 25 km of this place’s Census internal point. We leave local climate values unavailable. Use NOAA’s station lookup to inspect other locations and their coverage.
Check a specific address before moving
City averages help compare places. A particular home’s school assignment, transit service and flood-map coverage need checks at the address.
- FEMA Flood Map Service Center — search the address, read the effective map and its date, and check any map changes. An unmapped location does not establish an absence of flood risk.
- NCES public school district directory — find district contact information, then use the district’s official address locator or enrollment office to confirm school assignment. A city name or district boundary alone does not assign a school.
- FCC National Broadband Map — check reported service at the exact location, then confirm availability and terms with the provider.
- Check the official transit operator’s route map and timetable for the address and your actual travel hours; the citywide commuting shares above do not measure service on a particular street.
