Situated in the eastern hilly portion of Clark County lies the City of Camas, which is historically a paper mill town and is also home to several large, hi-tech manufacturing industries. This "small" city has become a "big" player in the locating and siting of international companies. Companies such as Sharp Microelectronics and Sharp Labs of America, Linear Technology, Wafer Tech, Underwriters Laboratories, and others have built and located here.
The population of Camas in 2009 is 16,950 with a median income of $80,000. According to a market study conducted in 2006, there will be nearly 100,000 people living within a 15-minute drive of downtown Camas and about 13,000 within five minutes by the year 2011.
