Oceanside sits on Oregon's Tillamook County coast, where a year-round population of 185 residents shares the community with seasonal visitors. The median age of 56.6 years and small household size (1.6 people per home) indicate this is primarily a retirement and vacation destination. Of 431 total housing units, 291 are used seasonally or occasionally. That's 67.5% vacation properties.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery isn't available across this 0.21 square mile coastal village, making the Oceanside post office the only way to receive mail. The post office maintains 163 PO Boxes for 114 year-round households, a 1.43 adoption rate that accounts for seasonal homeowners who maintain boxes year-round and local businesses serving visitors.
Street names like Pacific Ave, Seaview Ave, and Maxwell Mountain Rd capture the coastal geography. Rural carrier routes serve homes along Hillcrest Ave, Norwester Rd, and streets named for coastal trees (Alder, Birch). The compact village footprint covers less than a quarter square mile of land, surrounded by significantly more water area (1.43 square miles).
Median home values reach $488,600, and 57.5% of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher, both well above Oregon averages. The 6 business establishments employ 35 people, many serving the tourism and seasonal resident economy. Per capita income of $48,270 and the retirement-age demographics suggest this is a quiet coastal retreat rather than a working community.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box. Street addresses are not valid for delivery in this PO Box Only Zone. The post office has been serving this community since before October 2004, when USPS tracking began.
Street names like Pacific Ave, Seaview Ave, and Maxwell Mountain Rd emphasize the coastal setting, while tree-named streets (Alder, Birch) reflect the natural landscape.
