Visiting and second-home owners in Tillamook
Few Tillamook homes are used only part of the year. The Census counts "seasonal, recreational or occasional-use" homes separately from year-round homes, and in the 2020-2024 estimates they make up 0.5% of the housing units in Tillamook, about 12 homes. The margin of error on that count is larger than the count itself, so read it as "very few." Most homes here are lived in year-round. Small-town estimates carry a margin of error.
