What it’s like
The place. Creswell is a small city in Lane County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run well above the county's. Fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults. Winters are cool and wet, with a little snow most years, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, other services and shops also employing many. The commute is moderate, and some people work from home. Across Lane County, the largest workplaces include the University of Oregon, Shmc-riverbend and Eugene SD 4J.
Things to do. Hayward Field, a stadium, is a short drive away, as is the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. For time outdoors, the Middle Fork Willamette River is also a short drive, and the McKenzie River is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Creswell’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Lane County and the Eugene-Springfield, OR metro.
