Bunker Hill and Barview sit just north of the North Bend–Coos Bay urban area and are commonly mistaken for parts of either city, but the Census Bureau tracks them as their own CDPs.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nMost of the county’s smaller inland communities, such as Sitkum, Remote and Dora, do not have their own post office and use a nearby town’s ZIP code for mail.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nCoos County stretches from a rugged, dune-backed Pacific shoreline inland across the Coast Range foothills, drained by the Coos and Coquille rivers. The county holds one of Oregon’s largest natural harbors at Coos Bay and is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west. Douglas County lies to the north and east, and Curry County<\/a> lies to the south. Coos County shares its longest inland border with Douglas County<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coos County had 64,929 residents at the 2020 census, with a density of roughly 41 people per square mile. Coos Bay (15,985) and North Bend (10,317) are the two largest communities and together hold about 40% of the county’s population. Median household income in the county runs well below the Oregon median of $80,160, reflecting the area’s reliance on lower-wage forestry, fishing and tourism work.<\/p>\n The county’s economy has shifted over the past century from gold mining and coal to forest products, commercial fishing, tourism and agriculture. The Port of Coos Bay remains the deepest natural harbor between San Francisco and Puget Sound and still handles timber and bulk shipping. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, on the county’s southern coast, draws golfers from across the country and is one of the region’s largest private employers. Southwestern Oregon Community College, based in Coos Bay, serves the county’s students.<\/p>\n Coos County was organized on December 22, 1853, carved from land that had been part of Umpqua and Jackson counties. It takes its name from the Coos people, a Native American tribe native to the bay and river that share the name. Timber and coal mining drove the county’s economy through much of the 20th century before the industry’s decline in the 1980s and 1990s pushed the local economy toward tourism, fishing and diversified forest products.<\/p>\n U.S. Route 101 runs the length of the county along the coast, linking Bandon, Coos Bay and North Bend, while Oregon Route 42 connects Coquille and Myrtle Point to Interstate 5 near Roseburg.<\/p>\n The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend offers the county’s only commercial air service.<\/p>\n Where is Coos County, Oregon?<\/strong> What is the population of Coos County?<\/strong> How big is Coos County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Coos County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Coos County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Coos County?<\/strong> |
