Benchmarks

OPB has selected 91 indicators – Oregon Benchmarks (http://benchmarks.oregon.gov) – to measure progress toward the plan's goals. Below are links to the online repository of aggregated data about the 91 indicators, including economy, education, civic engagement, social support, public safety, community development and environment.
