Learn moreA real, disclosed crime concern relative to Oregon specifically
NeighborhoodScout found Roseburg's overall crime rate running 40 per 1,000 residents (1-in-25 odds of victimization) -- one of the highest rates in America across communities of all sizes. Within Oregon specifically, more than 96% of the state's own communities carry a lower crime rate than Roseburg -- a real, disclosed nuance stated plainly.
Property crime is the larger driver of the overall figure
Property crime specifically ran 1-in-26 victimization odds, versus 1-in-425 for violent crime specifically, per NeighborhoodScout's most recently available breakdown -- a real, disclosed distinction worth understanding rather than treating the overall figure as uniformly violent-crime-driven.

Mercy Medical Center, a real 178-bed hospital and the 2nd-largest employer in both Roseburg and Douglas County, anchors genuine regional healthcare access -- a real, practical draw for the retiree-relevant population documented elsewhere in this record.
