According to Saturday Night Science, Prineville and Veneta are considered the most boring places in Oregon for 2024. Oregon has many beautiful and exciting places that are hard to ignore. Unfortunately, not all towns and cities in the state of Oregon are as fortunate.
Just like in all U.S. States, there are definitely some dull places within the borders of Oregon. You know those places where everyone has an AARP card and the most exciting thing they do all day is share a picture of their grandchild on Facebook.
For example, Prineville. According to Saturday Night Science, our latest analysis shows that this city is considered the most boring city in Oklahoma. But don’t worry if you live in Prineville. There are many other uninteresting and uninspiring places in Oregon too.
Don’t worry, it may be surprising, but many people would actually enjoy living in a boring city.
If your city’s name is on the list, please don’t get upset. We didn’t use personal opinion to determine what makes a city or town “boring” or “exciting”. We analyzed real data to determine which towns are statistically more boring.

Method to determine the boring cities in Oregon
If you were arguing with your friends at a bar about the most boring place to live in Oregon, you would present the following case. That is why we refer to it as Saturday Night Science.
Our data provides more accurate information than emotions.
To determine the level of boredom in a place, we considered factors that we usually associate with exciting people. Then, we identified the cities with the fewest number of those exciting individuals.
We collected the information presented here using data from the U.S. American Community Census. Some things that people often consider to make a city’s population boring include:
- % of Population Over 25 (higher is more boring)
- % of Married Household (higher is more boring)
- Average Age (higher is more boring)
- % of Households With Kids (higher is more boring)
- Population density (lower is more boring)
Our algorithm creates a ranking for each place based on these categories. After analyzing the data, the cities were ranked from the most boring to the most exciting.
We considered all cities in Oregon with a population of at least 5,000 for this ranking. This prevents us from biasing our rankings by including very small groups of retired individuals. Get your chair and hold on tight.
