Numbers: County in middle on many measures

veal trends. 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.”

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.”
