What it’s like
The place. Mosier is a very small city in Wasco County, and most of its homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run higher than across the county, while the typical home is valued well above what many people might expect for a town this size. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers turn warm in August.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, in restaurants and hotels, or in farming and forestry. Across Wasco County, the largest workplaces include Mid-columbia Medical Center, North Wasco County SD 21 and the cherry grower Orchard View. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year earlier, and the number of jobs there has barely changed.
Things to do. Koberg Beach State Recreation Site is in or beside town, and Memaloose State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. The Hood River is also a short drive off, and the Mount Hood Railroad, a museum, is close by too. For a longer outing, Mount Hood National Forest is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mosier’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Wasco County and the The Dalles, OR metro.
