How the directory has changed
Public listings in Wasco County since September 2026, and services added or removed each month. Nov is month to date.
| Month | Listed | Added | Removed |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2026 | 165 | 0 | 0 |
| October 2026 | 188 | 30 | 7 |

Net +23 listings since Sep (30 added, 7 removed). Removals are services that closed, stopped answering, or failed review.
Language access
Residents age 5 and over who speak English less than “very well”. Agencies receiving federal funds must provide meaningful access for them; this is the population the obligation covers.
Residents 5+ with limited English
| Spanish speakers | 1,813 | 7.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Other languages | 120 | 0.5% |
| Speak only English, or English very well | 23,187 | 92.3% |
Spanish accounts for 94% of limited-English residents, so Spanish-language service is most of the obligation.
