* R = Rural,		U = Urban
1 :	Average compiled from the last 3 data point years. For counties missing data points the average is compiled from the remaining year(s) of the 3 year interval.
2 :	Rank of 1st is best. Ranks are based on the pre-rounded 3-yr-Avg. The range may not be through 36 given the number of counties included in the 3-yr-Avg and any duplicate rankings.
3 :	The Oregon Population Survey, which provides statewide statistics for this benchmark, does not report county rates. Census and American Community Survey data are used at this level.
4 :	Unlike the state benchmark data which measures eligible voters, this table measures the percent of registered voters who actually voted.
5 :	This measures the percentage of children ages 24 - 35 months who have received a set of recommended immunizations in a given calendar year. This differs from statewide benchmark, which includes children ages 19-35 months. Like the statewide benchmark, this county data tracks those who have had the 4:3:1:3 series.
6 :	Counties with inadequate data are grouped together at either a regional or Service Delivery Area (SDA) level.
7 :	The county benchmark statistics includes both 51(a) substantiated & 51(b) threat of harm data.
8 :	The statewide benchmark reports the inverse: percent of mothers who abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.
9 :	Poverty rate differences between the county and state statistics are a result of the different data sources used.
10 :	The county statistics report ages 65 and over, which differs from the statewide benchmark where ages 75 and over is used.
11 :	Inclusive of person, property, and behavior crimes.
12 :	Crimes against persons include murder, negligent homicide, forcible rape, other sex crimes, kidnapping, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault.
13 :	Property crimes include burglary, larceny/theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, forgery/counterfeit, fraud, embezzlement, stolen property and vandalism.
14 :	Behavior crimes include weapon laws, prostitution, drug laws, gambling, crimes against family, driving under the influence, liquor laws, disorderly conduct, and all other curfew and runaway juveniles.
