Roughly 69.7% of homes in Deschutes County are owner-occupied at a median home value of $526,200. That's an ownership rate close to the national average.

About 12.0% of Deschutes County residents report a disability, a rate in line with national levels. Demand for accessibility-focused remodelers - bathroom safety upgrades, non-slip flooring, ADA toilet installations, and lowered countertops - reflects that local population, not a one-size-fits-all national average.
