Since 2017

Economic Indicators

SOWIB has published 103 monthly indicator reports, published under five different titles as the region was re-cut. Here they are one continuous read per county, with every change of publication named where it happens, so a county can be followed all the way back to 2017.


The publication record

The five titles these reports have been published under

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.
