What it’s like
The place. Imnaha is a town in Wallowa County, in the northeastern corner of Oregon, close to the deep canyons of Hells Canyon. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good many adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and bring snow, while summers are warm, and the county gets a modest amount of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in farming, forestry and mining, and others work in professional and business services or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Wallowa County, unemployment has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has held steady. Most commutes are short, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. Wallowa Lake, a lake, is a longer drive away, and the Imnaha River, a river, is also a longer drive away. Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, an archaeological site, is a longer drive away as well.

Natural hazards
- AvalanchesRelatively high
- WildfireRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Wallowa County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Wallowa County.
