What it’s like
The place. Lakeside is a small city on the Oregon coast, and most homes here are lived in by their owners, a higher share than is typical for the country. Incomes in the county run on the modest side, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many American towns. Winters are cool and mild rather than harsh, with December the coldest month, and summers stay gentle, peaking in September.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and then shops. Across Coos County, the largest workplaces include BAY Area Hospital, Bandon Dunes and the Coos Bay school district. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs has held roughly steady, and a typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. Water and woodland are close at hand. Eel Lake and Tenmile Lake are in or beside town, as is William M. Tugman State Park, a protected area. A short drive away are the Umpqua River and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, another protected area.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 77 workplaces with 20 or more staff, 7,730 people in all across the county; Lakeside has one of its own. Hospitals come from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023), school districts from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24) and colleges from IPEDS (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.
Natural hazards
- EarthquakesRelatively high
- Inland floodingRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lakeside’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 Coos County and the Coos Bay, OR metro.
