About Living in Oregon: Fun Facts & Statistics

-Oregon is booming! As reported in CNN Money, in 2014 more Americans moved to Oregon than to any other state. Inbound moves were up 5% over 2013, and college enrollment rose by about 5% too.

  • Oregon is a top state for students who like to be outdoors. Dramatic scenery includes Mt. Hood and other high mountain peaks, deep lakes and gorges, powerful rivers, extinct volcanos and windswept beaches.
    Oregon towns hold some of the world’s best festivals. Lately some cities have perpetual party atmospheres too; Oregon’s become a leader in the beer industry, and Portland alone has about 60 breweries.
  • Housing costs in Oregon are relatively low, especially when eyed by California neighbors. Rental costs are reasonable for students and buying a home of your own someday would likely be affordable. The median price for a single-family home is about $300,000 in Portland versus $900,000 in San Francisco.
    Commute times are low. For off-campus students a typical school-home commute time is about 15 minutes. Public transportation systems are strong here too.
  • Entrepreneurs succeed in Oregon. Small businesses are thriving. So too are bigger industries such as tech and filmmaking, which are relocating from across state lines. If you attend college in Oregon, you can find great opportunities for internships and in-state employment after graduation.
