What it’s like
The place. Sixes is a small community on the southern Oregon coast, in Curry County. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and residents are generally older than most Americans. Incomes run below the national typical household, and the winters are cool with little or no snow, while the rain falls heavily for much of the year.
Work. Many people in the county work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Government and professional and business services also employ residents. Unemployment has eased since the previous summer, and job numbers have edged up slightly. Commutes are fairly short, and only a minority of residents work from home.
Things to do. Port Orford Heads State Park is a protected area a short drive away, where visitors can walk the coastline. The Sixes River, also a short drive away, offers a quiet river setting. Humbug Mountain State Park, a longer drive away, is another protected area for those willing to travel further.

Natural hazards

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Curry County, 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 Curry County and the Brookings, OR metro.
