Review of Bend, Oregon


Why the high tax it's hard enough.
Star Rating - 11/25/2020
I have to say the winter is so cold it reminds me of the north east. The longer I've lived here the more I want to leave and soon. The main employer is the hospital which isn't a well run hospital so it's a constant struggle. All the other employment is just working class jobs with ridiculous housing coast. When you live here you can barley afford to enjoy the outdoors because you spent all your money for a roof and a heating bill eight out of twelve month and Oregon has a 13% income state tax which is as high as California. The no sales tax doesn't come close to off setting the state income tax. The people aren't that friendly anymore either. The over population has really changed Bend a lot.

Correction: Oregon income tax is 9.9% not 13%
