Numbers track progress. Numbers identify successes.” And good data make for good decisions, the publish- ers contend, which is why they’ve made the information easily accessible. Their initial concept was to get information out about de- mographics, social measures (safety, inequality, etc.), ed- ucation, economics, health and infrastructure (roads, bridges, broadband, etc.). In the comparison between counties, Clatsop County falls somewhere in the middle on most measurements. But it stands out on a few. Clatsop is in second place, with 40 percent of adults physically active. The data look at the percent of adults who get 150 minutes per week of moderate-inten- sity activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity. Clatsop is second to Grant County, which includes John Day in eastern Oregon. Grant County is 100 percent rural and forestry/logging is the top employer. “I think we live in an area with the outdoors, trees, trails, and I think Clatsop County does a good job keep- ing the trails maintained,” said Jared Murry, an employ- ee at Fitness 1440 in Warren- ton. “It encourages people to get out and they will come to a gym to get even more fit.” HUGE YARD SALE Thousands of comic books, baseball cards and books.

The county is participating in a five-year Way to Wellville challenge to increase healthy activities and several organi- zations have joined forces to do that. “Research shows physical activity is one element of pre- venting or curtailing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol,” said Sue Cody, Way to Wellville communications writer. Wellville programs include Clatsop Kids Go, an in-school program to teach kids the im- portance of physical activity and nutrition; the 2000 Mile Challenge, which got its 400 participants to log 73,000 miles over a one-year period; and Rx for Play, in which doc- tors wrote 3,000 prescrip- tions that included access to parks and passes to recre- ation facilities. Jobs here tend to keep peo- ple active too: fishing, log- ging, even waiting tables and cleaning hotel rooms. Clatsop was sixth of the 36 counties on residents holding two-year degrees. We are 12th for four-year degrees. “Individuals who have earned a four-year degree or higher experience increased salaries and worker benefits, more mobility and improved health” the study’s authors wrote. “This measure is an import- ant indicator of human capi- tal and is frequently used to describe a community’s labor force for purposes of econom- ic development.” But crime, and the amount residents pay in property tax- es are high. Clatsop County residents pay an average of $1,784 per year in property taxes, a good deal more than the state- wide average of $1,427. Res- idents of Josephine County in Southwest Oregon pay the least at $738 per year. Clatsop is in third place for the number of major crimes per 1,000 residents. Major, or index, crimes in- clude murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson. “High rates of crime area associated with population mobility, weaker attachment of residents to their commu- nity, less local involvement and lower home values,” the book’s authors state. Clatsop also was fairly high – eighth place – in housing cost burden. Residents here spend 37.3 percent of their income on housing. Morrow County, in the Columbia Gorge, has the lowest burden at 23 percent. “Housing cost burden pro- vides a measure of a county’s affordability,” the authors wrote. “The Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment has established that … households should spend no more than 30 percent of their income on housing.” B y the numBers Clatsop County’s statistics include the following: •Total population: 37,660 •Median income: $47,492 •Total land area: 1,084 miles •Public land: 24 percent •Rural population (people living outside city boundar- ies): 39 percent •Top three attractions: Fort Stevens State Park, Lewis and Clark National Park and Hay- stack Rock •Health issues: Smokers, 21 percent (state is 18 percent); healthy diet, 17 percent (state is 20 percent); 2-year-old vaccination rate, 65 percent (state is 70 percent); low- weight births, 6 percent (7 percent). Social issues: Major crimes per 1,000 population, 43 (32); voter participation, 81 percent (80 percent); child abuse per 1,000 population, 18 (14); food insecurity, 15 percent (14 percent).
