What it’s like
The place. Yoncalla is a very small city in Douglas County, with fewer people than most places that carry the name of a city. Household incomes run below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical home is valued well above what the local incomes might suggest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Douglas County, some of the largest workplaces are Mercy Medical Center, Douglas County SD 4 and Roseburg Forest Products. Commutes are long, and almost nobody works from home. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. Pass Creek, a river, is a short drive away. Farther out by car are the North Umpqua River and Cottage Grove Lake, a reservoir, and the Cascades Raptor Center, which is a zoo. Winters are mild and wet with little or no snow, and summers turn warm, so the water and the drives are open through most of the year.

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