I am looking for a small town in Oregon to retire

[OregonBlue]

29. I live in very rural, like 200 people in our entire valley, rural in north central.

It's is very reasonable price wise but it's about 52 GOP to 48 DEM. Most of East of the Mountains is like that. Obama won here the first time but Romney the second.

If you stay West you will pay more. The Coast is pretty expensive because it is really, really, beautiful. Ashland is great but flooded with wealthy Californians and the housing prices are sorta high.

There are lots of small towns near Eugene or Corvallis where you can still get some good deals on houses and since there are big colleges in those towns, they are pretty progressive. Eugene more than Corvallis, but Corvallis is really nice too.

The Rogue river area like someone suggested, is beautiful but there are some pockets or real rednecks down that way.

Go to the Oregon voter returns for the last 2 elections and look at which counties went blue and which red. That's a good place to start to narrow it down. Once you've chosen your counties, you can even do a breakdown by the towns.

Also remember, the coast is really rainy, the Willamette Valley very rainy, Eugene very rainy, North Central High and fairly dry with some snow in winter. Central and South Central very high and very dry and very cold in the winter. Far eastern Oregon is both really cold in the winter and Total Trump territory.

Hope that helps.
