What it’s like
The place. Silverton is a city in Marion County with a population that is somewhat younger than many older towns, and household incomes just above the county's. More homes here are lived in by their owners than rented, though a good number of people rent. Winters are cool and wet with very little snow, and summers are warm without being extreme.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and government also employing a good share. Among the largest workplaces in town are Silverton Hospital, Safeway and Roth's Fresh Market. A fair number of people work from home, and the typical commute is moderate.
Things to do. The Oregon Garden, a botanical garden, sits in or beside town, as do Town Square Park and Silver Creek Reservoir. A longer drive away is Silver Falls State Park, a protected area, and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art offers an indoor outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Silverton’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 Marion County and the Salem, OR metro.
