Baker County has 3 gyms on map listings as of September 2026. That is 4.1 per 10,000 households, 46% below the U.S. rate of 7.6.

Population estimates show Baker County declined 0.4% from 2020 to 2025, against +3.1% for the U.S. With 3 gyms on map listings, Baker County isn’t given a market score: the score needs at least 5, since one listing more or less would swing it.

How Baker County compares

The same measures for Oregon and the whole U.S. Spending per listing divides a year of household spending on all memberships, classes and admissions by the gyms counted, so it measures the demand for each competitor, not any business’s revenue. Households per establishment does the same with the official count.
