*Statutory compensation standard does not currently matter for Benton, Clatsop, Multnomah or Washington counties, because they contain: (i) no enterprise zone, (ii) only an urban zone in the Portland metropolitan area or (iii) only a portion of a two-county zone for which the other county has the higher average annual wage.
