Oregon is a somewhat small town located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 13,538 people and two constituent neighborhoods, Oregon is the 55th largest community in Wisconsin.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Oregon is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Oregon is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Oregon who work in office and administrative support jobs (16.50%), management occupations (10.83%), and sales jobs (10.72%).

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.

Oregon is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Oregon's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

Residents of Oregon by-and-large get to work each day by driving: 98.6% use their own cars for their daily commute, making it a very car-oriented town. While Oregon may be a convenient place for driving around town, the negative aspect of this is that places that are suitable for walking or bicycling to and from work or stores may be few and far between. In general, car-oriented communities emphasize roads and convenience of driving, but not have a lot of walking-friendly areas to get from home to work, and tend not to have a lot of public transportation options.

As is often the case in a small town, Oregon doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
