A genuinely older-skewing demographic profile worth weighing
West Linn's median age (43.3-44.2 years) and senior population share (18.4%-19.3%, above the ~16.84% national baseline) reflect a real, more established community character -- families should weigh this honestly against Newberg's younger, college-town profile, built alongside this record in the same pass.
