Myself and 12 friends rented a house on the beach from AirBnB and it was the most pleasant experience. We could hear the ocean from our hot tub and there was a full arcade downstairs. We got to hang out as a group, cooking dinners together and having fires on the beach. The combination of ocean and forest is unreal. It isn’t too hot or too cold, most of the year.

You can get delicious clam chowder or fresh oysters at Moe’s Restaurant. There is whale watching that is cheaper than any other city I have ever been to.

Klamath Falls and Altamont can be combined since residents there see themselves as all being from Klamath Falls. That would probably put them in the top 10.

How We Determined The Cities In oregon With The Largest Native American Population For 2020

We still believe in the accuracy of data — especially from the census. So that’s where we went to get the breakdown of race across oregon.

That lead us to the Census’s most recently available data, the 2014-2018 American Community Survey data from the US Census.

Specifically, we looked at table B03002: Hispanic OR LATINO ORIGIN BY RACE. Here are the category names as defined by the Census:

• Hispanic or Latino
• White alone*
• Black or African American alone*
• American Indian and Alaska Native alone*
• Asian alone*
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone*
• Some other race alone*
• Two or more races*

Our particular column of interest here was the number of people who identified as American Indian and Alaska Native alone.

We limited our analysis to places with a population greater than 5,000 people. That left us with 74 cities.

We then calculated the percent of residents that are American Indian and Alaska Native. The percentages ranked from 5.78% to 0.0%.

Finally, we ranked each city based on the percent of American Indian and Alaska Native population with a higher score being more American Indian and Alaska Native than a lower score. Madras took the distinction of being the most American Indian and Alaska Native, while Woodburn was the least Native American city.
