Oregon is a medium-sized village located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 11,676 people and three associated neighborhoods, Oregon is the 86th largest community in Wisconsin.
Oregon real estate is some of the most expensive in Wisconsin, although Oregon house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.
Also of interest is that Oregon has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 18.97% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Because of many things, Oregon is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Oregon really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Oregon perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
Being a small village, Oregon does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The citizens of Oregon are among the most well-educated in the nation: 47.74% of adults in Oregon have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor's degree.
