The City of Madras is the closest community in Central Oregon to the Port of Portland, offering a transportation advantage. Jefferson County is rich in natural resources, including abundant ultra-pure water, wood products, jetty-quality basalt and is the largest agricultural producer in Central Oregon. The County is also home to several well established specialty manufacturers. Low-cost utilities and a productive workforce make the area a prime location for business. Education is important in the County. Voters have historically passed bonds and recently built the Madras campus of Central Oregon Community College, a new 600 seat performing arts center, a new sports complex and a new K-8 school in Warm Springs. Jefferson County is known for its livability, affordability, community spirit and rich mix of cultures. Family fun amenities include an airshow, water and snow skiing, aquatic center, camping, boat races, drag strip, circle track, skateboard facility and more. Homes are very affordable and community leaders welcome new businesses with their friendly “can do” attitude. Jefferson County’s landscape offers snow-capped mountains, rivers, lakes and high desert plains. While each of Jefferson County's five communities—Madras, Metolius, Culver, Warm Springs and Crooked River Ranch—are unique, all share a common desire for a vibrant future.

According to OSU’s Extension Economic Information Office, Jefferson County generated $74 million in gross farm sales in 2012, with roughly 80% in crops and 20% in livestock. The Source: EDCO, April – June 2014. County has over 60,000 irrigated acres in high value, specialty crops such as carrot, grass and flower seed, garlic, and mint. Jefferson County’s vast acreages of rangeland also support livestock, primarily cattle. Consistent with Oregon’s growth in farm products, Jefferson County has recently seen year over year increases in sales of farm and ranch commodities.

While most employees are covered, notable exceptions include the self-employed, those who work solely on commission, and some agricultural workers. Wages include commissions, bonuses, vacation and holiday pay, but do not include benefits. Total payroll dollars, number of employees, and average pay are shown in the adjacent table for both Jefferson County and the Tri-County region. In the private sector, Manufacturing is the strongest employment segment in Jefferson County with 15% of total payroll dollars. That’s three times greater than the Tri-County region as a whole. The next largest private sector segment is Natural Resources & Mining with 6% of payroll dollars. Compared to the Tri-County region, The Government sector plays a far more dominant role in Jefferson County’s economy than in Deschutes or Crook County, a reflection of the influence of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, as the bulk of tribal jobs fall in this category. Conversely, the Leisure & Hospitality sector is far less dominant role than in Crook or Deschutes County.

Similarly, construction costs are favorable in Jefferson County, with Bend, Redmond, and Sisters typically at higher rates per square foot. In terms of lease rates, Jefferson County’s $0.07 per square foot rate is the most affordable in the Tri-County region. Employment land costs in the region are rebounding after seeing as much as 50% value reductions in the past few years. Costs do vary by community, with Jefferson and Crook Counties having lower lease and construction rates. In Deschutes County, Redmond offers lower land and lease costs than neighboring Bend. per square foot Industrial land costs: $0.75 to $2.00 s Industrial land lease: $3010/acre/yr or $.07 cents/sf/yr Construction costs: $40 to $60 Source: EDCO Business Research, April 2014 Business Costs Across the Region (all costs expressed as costs per square foot) Category Industrial land costs 1 Lease rates Industrial Commercial Retail Construction Bend $3.50-$6.00 $0.35-$0.75 $0.75-$1.75 $0.50-$2.00 $50-$75 Deschutes County Redmond Sisters 2 $1.00-$4.50 $2.55-$6.00 $0.30-$0.60 $0.50-$1.50 $0.40-$1.50 $50-$75 $0.45-$0.60 $0.85-$1.50 $0.85-$1.50 $35-$75 Crook Jefferson County County $0.70-$4.50 $0.75-$2.00 $0.20-$0.35 $0.07-$0.45 $0.40-$0.90 $0.45-$0.90 $0.70-$1.00 $0.65-$1.00 $40-$70 $40-$60 Source: EDCO Business Research, May 2014. 1 NNN costs per square foot per month Oregon has a well-deserved, long established national status for being a cost competitive location for business. A major contributing factor to the Oregon advantage is the fact that Oregon has no sales tax, no inventory tax, a single sales factor that benefits large employers with multiple operations, and an affordable property tax system. Average industrial, commercial, and residential power costs are nearly half those in California and on average 25% below national averages. With steady in-migration, labor costs are also among the most affordable on the West Coast. Perhaps one of the greatest assets in Oregon is the structure of how corporations are taxed known as the Single Sales Factor. The tax rate on corporate income of firms doing business in the state is the greater of a minimum tax based on relative sales ($150-$100,000, approximately 0.1%) or an income-based levy of 6.6% on amounts up to $10 million and 7.9% above that. Oregon businesses are taxed on a portion of their total income derived from sales within the state. This corporate income tax is considered "Singe Sales Factor" tax, as it only considers Oregon sales in determining corporate income taxes owed to the state. Other states often include additional assets and payroll, making them "multi-factor" taxes. Attempting to understand all cost factors in different states and how those impact your specific business can be a daunting task. Some cost factors such as the efficiency and approach of regulatory oversight (i.e. implementation of federal EPA rules) can be dramatically different from state to state but virtually impossible to place a dollar value for comparison purposes. The table below attempts to provide, in summary form, a framework by which to inventory and compare costs for a manufacturing company with 20 employees and one with 200 employees. This example does not factor or include cost savings offered by incentive programs in either state. Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector businesses than Washington and California combined.

The “pure premium” is the portion of the premium employers pay insurers to cover anticipated claims costs for job-related injuries and deaths. State officials attribute the decrease to a focus on improving worker safety, getting injured workers treated and back on the job quickly, as well as the initial impact of medical cost control strategies. Workers’ compensation costs in Oregon remain highly favorable compared to other states. The “pure premium” rate has either remained the same or decreased for 22 of the past 24 years – making this cost among the lowest in the country for employers.

From 2003 until 2013, jobs in the nation have grown at an overall rate of 4.8%. Oregon outpaced the nation’s job growth by almost 50%, however the Bend MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) grew at nearly three times the national average. Additionally, over the past decade more jobs were created in the tricounty area (8,520) than four of the other five MSAs combined (8,500 – excluding Portland), which represent a population base that is roughly four times that of Central Oregon. Holding strong, Jefferson County is experiencing a significant uptrend in jobs created, with a 4.2% increase.

Because of Central Oregon’s continued in-migration, job creation typically lags population growth. In the most recent recession, unemployment peaked in 2009 and now is on a noticeable, positive downward trend. The chart to the right provides a threeyear perspective on unemployment in the Tri-County area. Since early 2010, unemployment rates have been reduced significantly, lending credibility to structural changes resulting from employment gains. While not on the chart, unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2014 showed further progress, taking Crook County’s rate to 10.8%, Jefferson County’s rate to 9.7%, and Deschutes County’s rate to 8.4%, its lowest level since 2008. HOUSING COSTS Average Monthly Rent The Central Oregon rental market began tightening in 2010 and continues to face heightened demand in the midst of constrained supply. According to the Central Oregon Rental Owners Association, current vacancy rates have shrunk to very low single digits (one percent in some cases as of April 2014), down from 12.4% in 2009. Average Monthly Rent for a 3 Bedroom House ($) Area Bend Redmond/Terrebonne Madras/Culver Prineville La Pine Sunriver Sisters 2008 1005 885 842 846 853 967 950 2009 1003 884 834 790 890 1000 n/a 2010 969 863 849 809 905 991 913 2011 1012 911 817 847 861 896 850 2012 1231 975 800 835 889 1086 922 2013 1110 952 765 755 838 1066 875 As in-migration to Central Oregon continues, deSource: Central Oregon Rental Owners Association (COROA); February 2014 mand for rental housing outstrips supply, exerting pressure on prices and generating growing interest in multi-family residential construction, particularly in Bend and Redmond. In the last year, two and three bedroom rental houses increased more on a percentage basis than apartments and duplexes. Despite very low vacancies, 2013 average prices for a 3 bedroom home were down slightly from 2012 in all Central Oregon communities according the most recent annual survey. Our expectation is that 2014 annual rental figures to be up sharply in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Sisters amidst strong in-migration and near record low vacancies. Jefferson County has historically tracked lower in rent than adjacent counties. Because of this, housing in Jefferson County is particularly affordable.

As with much of the rest of the country, residential property prices peaked to alltime highs in 2007 and declined in value by as much 40% in the following years. Prices are now rebounding substantially. Both median and average home prices increased in 2013 across the region, but are still below 2005 levels.

Central Oregon’s commercial real estate market is marked by substantial positive absorption trends. In their quarterly POINTS newsletter, Compass Commercial Real Estate observes that Central Oregon’s commercial real estate market is experiencing strong growth and low vacancy rates in the retail and office sectors. Demand for commercial real estate is increasing in all three counties. Vacancy rates are declining while lease rates are improving. Agricultural land in Jefferson County is selling substantially better than in the past several years.
