But, yea, Portland seems like the best fit overall for OP, there are a lot of niches here...

Data storage doesn't require people. Don't bother looking at Prineville or The Dalles because of their ' server farms'.

Socially Eugene would be a good choice BUT UoO spits out software majors by the hundreds, all of them want to stay 'home'. If the op can find a job fantastic but the chances of finding a job and a singles scene in Portland are much greater.

SOU's student body is slightly over 50% female, which would put them around 2,500 students. As I said, though, a lot of them are in on-line or non-residency-requiring programs (like one of the Master's in Music programs offered by an affiliate, for which you only need to be present for 4 weeks twice a year).

Ashland has led the state for the rate of HIV infection for years.

And it's a liberal city, as well. Hmmm.

If true it may be because there is a high representation of gay males who work in the theaters.

Not true: https://aidsvu.org/state/oregon/

Statistics are kept by county not city. But Multnomah Co. has almost 4x the rate of Jackson Co.
