What it’s like
The place. Condon is a very small town in Gilliam County, where almost everyone knows one another. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Incomes are below Oregon's county-level middle for many places, and more residents live below the poverty line than is common nationally. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm, with fairly little rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Farming, forestry and mining employ more of the town's residents than any other line of work, followed by schools, hospitals and social care. Professional and business services and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also provide jobs. Across Gilliam County, the largest workplaces include Columbia Ridge Landfill & Recycling Center, the construction firm M A Mortenson and the Condon school district. Few people work from home, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in much of the country.
Things to do. Dyer State Wayside is a protected area a short drive away, and makes an easy outing. Farther afield, Cottonwood Canyon State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Rock Creek, a river, lies in the same direction. Buck Falls, a waterfall, is also a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Condon’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
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 Gilliam County.
