Baseline Socioeconomic Profiles of Coastal Counties in the Washington-Oregon Planning Area. (Coastal Washington). Volume 1 of 4

摘要

The report presents socioeconomic profiles of the counties in the Coastal Washington Area of the Washington-Oregon Planning Area of the Minerals Management Service. The Coastal Washington Area includes Jefferson, Clallam, Island, San Juan, Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Wahkiakum counties. It presents baseline socioeconomic profiles of coastal counties in Washington, Oregon, and California which may be potentially affected by offshore oil and gas development. Each profile includes socioeconomic characteristics organized under the following eight headings: demographics, economics, housing, public services and facilities, public finance, energy consumption, land use, and other characteristics. The focus of each socioeconomic profile is 1980, but the time period 1970 to 2000 is covered, to the extent possible with existing data, to provide a historical context and an understanding of expected trends. Each county's socioeconomic profile was prepared using time series data from secondary sources obtained primarily from federal, state, and local government agencies.
