About Nehalem

Nehalem is a very small coastal town (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of Oregon. With a population of 2,380 people and just one neighborhood, Nehalem is the 116th largest community in Oregon.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Nehalem is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Nehalem is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Nehalem who work in food service (13.19%), sales jobs (11.66%), and management occupations (9.85%).

In addition, many people in Nehalem have jobs in agriculture, more so than in most other communities in America. As a result, you will see quite a number of farms around town.

Nehalem is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

The town is also nautical, which means that parts of Nehalem are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

Being a small town, Nehalem does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
