Since 2017
Economic Indicators
SOWIB has published 103 monthly indicator reports, one blog post at a time, under five different titles. Following your own county backwards currently means already knowing what the series used to be called. Here it is one continuous read per county, with every change of publication named where it happens.
The publication record
Five titles, and they overlap
Each bar runs from the first month SOWIB published under that title to the last. They are not a relay. In the winter of 2021 two publications were covering Coos and Curry at the same time on different geographic footprints, which is exactly the point at which comparing two reports stops being safe.
The solid bars are continuing series. The hatched bar is the three-county edition: 3 posts naming Coos, Curry and Douglas together, published inside the region-wide run rather than after it. It is a variant of that series, not a successor to it, so this site does not count it as a change of publication.

Pick a county
Each county has its own continuous read, because each county sat inside a different combination of these publications. Coos and Curry were forked off, covered twice, then renamed. Douglas was renamed once and never split.

The state of the record, stated
A missing month is a fact about SOWIB’s publishing record, not a hole to paper over. The reader renders these four states differently and never fills one in from its neighbours.

103
Indicator posts out of 170 news posts on sowib.org. The other 67 are announcements, awards and notices, and they live under News.
Readable
99
Of the 103, 101 could be captured and 99 carry readable text. Those are three different numbers and they mean three different things.
-
2 posts could not be read at all
One returned a server error and one came back empty when this site was built. Both are Douglas County editions. They appear in the series in their right month, marked unreadable, rather than being dropped.
-
2 posts are published with nothing in them
Both are Southwestern Oregon editions that carry a title and no body on the live site. That is a different state from a post that failed to load, and the reader says so rather than treating them alike.
-
2 posts never state their year
“Special Edition: South Coast Economic Indicators, September” does not say which September. These are held at the end of the series instead of being slotted into the timeline by guesswork.
