Tips for Users
With these slides, you can
Help your colleagues, constituents and fellow citizens understand their county’s progress.
Mix and match benchmark slides to match your audience’s interests, or export slides to
other shows.
Use the handy notes (in “Normal” view) to help interpret each slide to your audience.
Using the slides
Each slide compares your county’s data with the statewide average and either a rural or
urban county average. (Urban counties are: Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Deschutes,
Jackson, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington and Yamhill.)
For some benchmarks, data for counties with small populations may have frequent ups and
downs because single events will have a large impact on overall rates.
