Yamhill usage to date

We'd like to share data on the usage of UrbanForm Yamhill to date from launch in the beginning of 2025 through April 2025.

UrbanForm Yamhill: A Good Start to 2025

Since its launch at the beginning of 2025, UrbanForm Yamhill has shown increasing usage for users across all 11 jurisdictions in Yamhill County. The chart above tracks sessions spent on UrbanForm. The platform’s adoption over the first four months of the year demonstrates good engagement and a growing reliance on its capabilities.

A Testament to Impact

A lead municipal planner in one of the Yamhill jurisdictions told us during our testing and quality assurance phase:

"One downloaded report from UrbanForm replicates what would have taken me half a day to prepare."

From January through April, adopting that anecdotal measure of utility per session on UrbanForm, each logged session has represented approximately four person-hours of work, or a total of 614 person days saved during these 4 months, underscoring the platform’s efficiency in streamlining tasks that traditionally required extensive manual effort.

This time savings translates into more strategic decision-making, time recovered from basic information discovery on both public and private sides, allowing professionals to focus on meaningful insights and planning.

Measurable Growth and Adoption

The data reveals exciting success across various jurisdictions, with engagement predictably centralized among larger jurisdictions:

• McMinnville logged 265 sessions in March—a strong indication of widespread engagement.

• Newberg steadily increased usage, culminating in 212 sessions in April, showcasing sustained growth.

• Even smaller jurisdictions such as Willamina saw notable usage, demonstrating outsized value for smaller municipalities.

These figures illustrate the platform’s growing impact, with professionals across Yamhill County increasingly integrating UrbanForm Yamhill into their workflows. The ability to replace traditional processes with efficient digital solutions has already made a tangible difference.

A Promising Future

The platform’s success so far highlights its effectiveness in helping jurisdictions make informed planning decisions. As more users continue to engage, UrbanForm Yamhill is poised to deliver even greater value throughout the rest of 2025. The momentum achieved in the first four months sets the stage for broader adoption and continued impact across Yamhill County.
