What it’s like
The place. Warren is a small community in Columbia County, Oregon, and the people who live here are older on the whole than in most of the country. Almost everyone owns their home, and very few households live below the poverty line. Homes here are worth more than the typical home across much of the country. Winters are cool and damp, coldest in December with highs well above freezing, and summers are mild to warm, with August the warmest month.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Columbia County, the largest workplaces include St Helens Schools, Scappoose SD 1J and Fred Meyer Stores. The commute is a moderate one, and some residents work from home. Unemployment in the county has come down from a year earlier, and the county had a few more jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. For time on the water, the Lewis River and the Multnomah Channel are both a short drive away. Those willing to go further can visit the Portland Art Museum, walk the Portland Japanese Garden, or see Fort Vancouver, all 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 Warren’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 Columbia County and the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metro.
