Is the economy affecting your small town?

The United States' financial crisis is having an international impact, but some of the hardest-hit places may be far from the media spotlight.

At OPB, we want to know how Oregon's small towns are being affected.

What town do you live in?

What effect has the economic downturn had on your town?

How have you been affected by the economic downturn, personally? How has it affected your friends and family?

Will you be forced to make any major decisions in the next 6-12 months due to the economic downturn?

What else should we know about this subject?

Now, we have a few questions that will help us better understand your perspective. None of this information is required, and all of it will remain private to the newsroom.

In what year were you born?

What do you do for work?

What is your household income?

What is your race or ethnicity?

We ask for some information about you so we can contact you if we have questions. We will not share your personal information outside the newsroom.
