What it’s like
The place. Centerville is a small community in Klickitat County, in south-central Washington, where most people know their neighbors and one another's families. Its population is among the smallest of any place on this site, and its residents tend to be older than people in most towns. Life here is quiet, with the county's rural character close at hand.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others work in professional and business services, manufacturing, or farming, forestry and mining. Across Klickitat County, unemployment is lower than it was a year ago, while the number of jobs has dipped slightly from the year before. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm and fairly dry, which shapes both outdoor work and daily routines.
Things to do. The Maryhill Museum of Art is a museum that is a short drive away and is one of the best-known cultural sites in the area. Goldendale Observatory State Park, also a short drive away, is a protected area suited to stargazing and a quiet afternoon. Maryhill State Park, another short drive away, is a protected area along the river where visitors can spend time outdoors.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Klickitat County.
