Part 4: Caldera Springs & Crosswater
The 1960 census recorded 23,100 people in Deschutes County, including incorporated areas. In 1970, just as Sunriver was getting started, the census counted 30,442 residents. However, the last census, in 2000, recorded 115,367 and a 2006 estimate was 149,140. Deschutes County, including South County, is losing its "rural" character.
