Gold Beach is a very small coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Oregon. With a population of 2,358 people and two associated neighborhoods, Gold Beach is the 138th largest community in Oregon.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 15.34% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Gold Beach has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Gold Beach a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Gold Beach is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.

One of the benefits of Gold Beach is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 15.19 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

The percentage of adults in Gold Beach who are college-educated is close to the national average for all communities of 21.84%: 18.36% of the adults in Gold Beach have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Gold Beach in 2022 was $28,959, which is lower middle income relative to Oregon and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $115,836 for a family of four. However, Gold Beach contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
