Because Bend and Central Oregon have been celebrated in national and regional press as one of the most desirable places to retire, many assume that our population is skewed toward older residents. Actually, the region has a healthy mixture of ages, with higher than average percentage of school age children 5-14 than either state or national averages Population.by.Age(a testimony that people believe it is a good place to raise children) and higher than state averages for the 35-44 and 45-54 age categories. Still, Central Oregon’s climate and relative low cost of living is attractive to retirees – we also have a higher percentage of people living here between the ages of 55 to 74 than either Oregon or the U.S. as a whole.

The Willamette Valley's farmlands stretch far and wide, comfortably supporting crops of nursery stock, wheat, mint, grass seed, blueberries, blackberries, marionberries, raspberries, hazelnuts, garlic, organic produce gardens, and Christmas trees. They all share space with the growing wine-grape industry as there is little competition for acreage.The Willamette Valley is also known for its flourishing wine industry. The valley is divided into two distinct appellations, although both are known for their rich and robust Pinot Noir and exceptional Pinot Gris.

Massive flood waters helped shape this valley more than 10, 000 years ago, when the glacial waters of Lake Missoula washed over areas of Oregon and Washington's western regions in a series of periodic floods. The result was a transplantation of rich volcanic soil from eastern Washington to western Oregon, where the moist, cool winds of the Pacific Ocean continue to nurture Oregon's most abundant agricultural region.
