Washington has a lower population and not much in the way of jobs. Many people commute to Mobile Co. for jobs. In Baldwin, you're getting stretched every which way with the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area not typically commuting in the city and with central Baldwin being farmland.
As for Clarke, I believe there needs to be a 5 year rolling average of 15% into Mobile county to be included in the CSA. Right now, the rolling average has increased to around 11 to 12%, but it is still below 15%.
