Fact text

  • Cedar Mill got its name from an actual cedar mill, and the mill's old pond was still visible as late as the 1960s, nearly 70 years after the mill shut down.
  • Cedar Mill's local waterfall is a 32-foot basaltic rock formation that once powered the sawmill, and today a special boardwalk lets visitors of all abilities check it out.
  • North Johnson Creek, one of Cedar Mill's waterways, joins the main stream right at the Nike World Campus, so even the creeks are into athletic wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Oregon tax Social Security or have a sales tax in retirement?

Oregon does not tax Social Security benefits and charges zero state sales tax. Oregon does tax other income, so retirees drawing from pensions or investment accounts will owe state income tax on those distributions. This combination can simplify budgeting for Cedar Mill retirees who rely heavily on Social Security as part of their income mix.

How many hospitals are near Cedar Mill, OR, and are they good quality?

Four Medicare-certified hospitals serve the Cedar Mill area, averaging 3.25 out of 5 CMS stars. That rating sits in the middle range by national standards, meaning access to care is reasonably available but quality is not exceptional. Retirees with complex medical needs may want to research individual hospital ratings before settling on a primary care network.

How expensive is housing in Cedar Mill, Oregon?

The median home value in Cedar Mill is $678,100, reflecting its status as a high-income suburb. For retirees, this means significant equity may be tied up in their home, which can be both an asset and a planning consideration when thinking about liquidity, downsizing, or funding long-term care expenses.

What natural disaster risks should Cedar Mill retirees be aware of?

FEMA rates this county’s overall natural-disaster risk as Relatively High on its National Risk Index. Retirees on fixed incomes should factor this into long-term planning, including reviewing homeowners insurance coverage and considering how a major disaster event could affect housing values or living expenses over a multi-decade retirement.

How does a MYGA help Cedar Mill residents protect their assets in retirement?

Cedar Mill’s median household income tops $123,000, meaning many residents here have real assets to protect — and that’s where a multi-year guaranteed annuity, or MYGA, comes in. A MYGA locks your principal into a fixed interest rate for a set term, so you know exactly what you’ll earn each year. Oregon taxes income but leaves Social Security alone and charges no sales tax, keeping distributions relatively predictable. Because MYGA rates shift frequently, check our current annuity rates page for today’s figures.
