Redmond had a population of 13,481 in 2000 and has grown to an estimated population of 25,445 residents.

The Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Exposition Center is another upscale gathering place for all of Central Oregon. The Redmond Campus of Central Oregon Community College is a strong and active campus that brings upper-level education right into Redmond.
