Island residents and tourists alike marvel at the fantastic views of the snow-covered Cascade and Olympic mountains as they relax in this pastoral setting. The islands comprising Island County are Whidbey, Camano, Ben Ure, Smith, Deception, Strawberry, Baby, Minor and Kalamut. The two settled islands, Whidbey and Camano, are favorite destinations for weekend visitors with easy access via State Route 20 over Deception Pass, State Route 532 to Camano, and the State Ferry System routes accessed off-island at Mukilteo and Port Townsend. Whidbey Island is the 5th longest island in the contiguous U.S.—45 miles long with 148 miles of shoreline. Camano is 16 miles long and has 52 miles of shoreline. Whidbey Island is located 27 miles north of Seattle and 50 miles south of the Canadian border. Island County has a total land area of 208 square miles. The islands were first settled by the Lower Skagit, Swinomish, Suquamish, Snohomish, Kikiallus, and other Native American tribes, who called the area Tscha-kole-chy (Whidbey) and Kol-lut-chen (Camano). European settlements were established in the early 1850s in the Penn Cove-Coupeville area. Today, the small communities along these sheltered shorelines are highly regarded locations for permanent homes and summer Island County and surrounding area residences, as well as small, but successful, businesses. Island County has four SNAPSHOT There are three geographic areas: Total incorporated locations in population Island County, all on North Whidbey , Whidbey Island: Central Whidbey 85,530 (WA State OFM, South Whidbey April 1, 2020 Oak Harbor Camano Island population Coupeville estimates.) Langley 3 CLIMATE Island County enjoys the moderating effects of water and sheltering mountains to provide a mild, temperate climate. Camano Island and, more so, Whidbey Island both benefit from the Olympic Mountains' "rain shadow" effect. Rainfall averages from about 35" per year in South Whidbey and South Camano to less than 18" on Central Whidbey. This contrasts with the yearly average of approximately 40" in Seattle. Freezes are usually light and rarely continue past February. 40% to 90% 34OF Avg relative humidity winter avg 72OF summer avg Because of the rain shadow, Central Whidbey receives markedly less rain than the rest of Whidbey Island <18” rain 35” rain per year per year Central Whidbey South Whidbey GEOGRAPHY The terrain of Island County is largely rolling with elevations from sea level to 580 feet. More than 50% of the land area is undeveloped and features trees, prairie areas of agricultural lands, marshes, open bays and a generally rural environment. 4 POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS Island County Population *US Census 2010 From 2010-2019 **WA State Office of Financial Management, April 1, 2020 pop estimate 8.9% growth 78,506 Island County 85,530 4.4% 24,941 growth in Island County incorporated Incorporated 26,030 areas 2010* 2020** 11% Island County 53,565 growth in Unincorporate unincorporated areas d 59,500 Median Age U.S. Census American Community Survey, 5-yr estimates, 2013- 19% 2018 increase from 2000-2018 63.4 2000 2020 61.2 54.2 Oak Harbor 48.7 lower median age due 44.2 43.4 43.0 to Navy personnel 37.0 28.3 29.6 Coupeville, Langley, & Camano increase in median age Island County Oak Harbor Coupeville Langley Camano Island 5 POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS Island County Population Centers Population increased *US Census 2010 in **US Census American Community Survey, 2019, 5-yr estimates 22,075 Oak Harbor City of Oak Harbor Camano Island 23,089 & Langley 15,661 Camano Island (uninc.) 17,042 2,045 Freeland (uninc.) 2,154 Population decreased 1,831 Town of Coupeville in 1,715 2010* 2020** 1,035 City of Langley Coupeville 1,094 Freeland 928 Clinton (uninc.) & Clinton 891 Per Capita Income Median Household Income ACS 2019 1-year estimate ACS 2019 1-year estimate (inflation adjusted 2019 dollars) (inflation adjusted 2019 dollars) $41,521 $39,005 $35,672 $78,687 $72,066 U.S. WA State Island County WA State Island County Per Capita Income 10% higher Median Household Income than U.S. 9% lower 6% lower than WA State than WA State 6 POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS County’s Workforce Commuting Destinations Census On The Map Commuting Destinations 9,864 out of County commuters from Whidbey and Camano Islands 280% 976 increase in commuters of those commuters from 2016 to 2017 come from Camano Island Whatcom County 395 Skagit County 850 Snohomish County 1,119 Kitsap County King County 204 579 Pierce County 280 7 EMPLOYMENT & LABOR Island County averaged 16,956 nonfarm (and non-military) jobs in March 2020 Bureau of Labor & Statistics 336 +2% new jobs over 2019 in total employment Bureau of Labor Statistics Largest employer in Island County and four surrounding Counties Naval Air Station $701M Whidbey Island Payroll for 10,500 personnel 8,400 military 2,100 civilian and contractors Percentage of Pay Role 61% BEA CAINC6N Compensation of According the Employees by NAICS Industry - 2018 Bureau of Economic Analysis 38% Government is the largest employer 16% Navy is the single largest 2% employer Total Gov't Military State & Local Gov't Construction 8 EMPLOYMENT & LABOR Major Employers (100+ employees) Employer reported data NAS Whidbey Island Wal-Mart Whidbey Telecom Federal Government Retail Technical Services Boeing Navy Commissary New Leaf (commuters from Island County) Federal Government Non-profit Manufacturing Safeway Payless Foods WhidbeyHealth Hospital Retail Groceries/Food Healthcare IDEX Corp Coupeville School Oak Harbor School Manufacturing District District Education Education Nichols Brothers Boat Builders Inc.

It can be as simple as separating male and female residents, or by something more complex. Mosaic, by Experian, which the EDC has access to through the use of the Buxton Analytics Platform, divides the U.S. population into 19 groups and 71 more detailed sub-groups, or segments. It paints a unique picture of the U.S. population based on their demographic characteristics, lifestyles, and behavior. In this next section we’ll look at the top five (5) segments of those 71 that comprise Island County’s residential households, and the top five segments of its workplace households.
