The Latino Community Association released essential data on the status and wellbeing of local Latinos on October 12 in its new report: Latinos in Central Oregon: A Community Profile in Statistics and Stories.
This report centers on Latinos living in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. Its pages explore population trends, Latinos’ rising share of the workforce, income and employment and how Latinos fare in health, education and the high-priced housing market in Central Oregon.
LCA staff and volunteers researched the most recent Census and local education and health data, including an LCA survey on emotional wellbeing, and then interviewed Latinos who describe how they experience Central Oregon. The report is available in digital form at latinocommunityassociation.org. LCA will produce a limited number of hard copies and make the executive summary and profiles available in Spanish.
