Population Estimates for Oregon 1980-1989

This report provides population estimates for Oregon and its counties and cities for the years 1980 through 1989. As mandated by Oregon law, the Center for Population Research and Census at Portland State University, acting on behalf of the State Board of Higher Education, annually estimates the July 1 population for each incorporated city and county in Oregon. These figures must be certified to the Secretary of State by December 15. When certified the population estimates are used in the allocation of certain state tax revenues to cities and counties

Population Estimates for Oregon: July 1, 1994

This report provides population estimates for Oregon, its counties, and cities for the years 1980 through 1994. As mandated by Oregon law (ORS 190.510 to 190.610), the Center for Population Research and Census at Portland State University, acting on behalf of the State Board of Higher Education, annually estimates the July 1 population for each county and incorporated city in Oregon. These population estimates are used in the allocation of certain state tax revenues to cities and counties. This report has eight tables and five figures which provide detailed analyses of Oregon\u27s current population data as well as an historical look at its population since 1980

Forest Grove School District: Enrollment Forecasts 2007-08 to 2011-12

The Forest Grove School District (FGSD) enrolled 6,102 students in Fall 2006, an increase of 175 students (3.0 percent) from Fall 2005. Growth was concentrated in the high school grades (9-12), which grew by 101 students (5.5 percent), and elementary grades, which gained 66 students (2.9 percent) between Fall 2005 and Fall 2006. This report presents the results of a demographic study conducted by the Portland State University Population Research Center (PRC). The study includes analysis of population, housing and enrollment trends affecting the District in recent years, estimates of the impacts of new housing development on FGSD enrollment, and forecasts of district-wide and individual school enrollments for the 2007-08 to 2011-12 school years. The forecasts indicate that overall FGSD enrollment will continue to increase during the next five years, due largely to net in-migration of families with children and increases in the number of births within the District. Recent subdivision approvals will allow single family home construction to continue at its current pace for the entire five year period if market conditions remain favorable, but the mix of homes may shift somewhat to accommodate more older “move up” buyers and fewer young families. No new multiple family rental developments have been approved in the past two years; the few attached units being built are market rate townhouses and condos

Population Estimates for Oregon: July 1, 1993

This report provides population estimates for Oregon and its counties and cities for the years 1980 through 1993. As mandated by Oregon law, the Center for Population Research and Census at Portland State University, acting on behalf of the State Board of Higher Education, annually estimates the July 1 population for each county and incorporated city in Oregon. These figures are certified on December 15. When certified, the population estimates are used in the allocation of certain state tax revenues to cities and counties. Oregon\u27s estimated July 1, 1993 population is 3,038,000 which represents about 1.2% of the United States population of 257,900,000. Oregon\u27s population increased 195,679 persons (6.9%) in the 39 months since the last U.S. Decennial Census (April 1, 1990). This rate of increase is almost double that of the United States (3.7%). Oregon\u27s growth rate in the early 1990\u27s is a continuation of the rapid growth experienced in the late 1980\u27s when it also grew at twice the national average. Oregon\u27s population increase of about 195,700 persons since April 1, 1990 is the result of two factors: natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration (persons moving to Oregon minus persons leaving Oregon). Natural increase has accounted for about 56,900 new Oregonians and there has been a net in-migration of about 138,800 persons in the 1990\u27s. Figure 5 shows Oregon\u27s net migration (in-migrants minus out-migrants) from 1981 to 1993. It is evident from this graph that migration can vary from year to year. For example, Oregon experienced a net migration of -30,250 people from 1985 to 1986 whereas between 1986 and 1987 there was a net migration of +13,600 people. The substantial net out-migration occurring in 1982, 1983, and 1986 is reflective of the recession in Oregon in the early 1980\u27s. Conversely, in each year from 1988 to 1993, Oregon had net in-migration of more than 30,000 people. Figure 1 shows a map of Oregon\u27s July 1, 1993 county population estimates. What is particularly striking about this figure is that the eight most highly populated counties are located on what may be termed the I-5 corridor. These counties (Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Marion, Linn, Lane, Douglas, and Jackson) contain 2,162,900 persons or 71 percent of the state\u27s 1993 population. Another example of the uneven population distribution in Oregon is that although half of Oregon\u27s 36 counties are East of the Cascade Range, these counties contain only 391,500 persons or 12.9% of the state\u27s population. The percentage of Oregon\u27s population that is East of the Cascade Range has remained constant over time; in 1980 it was 13.0%

Population Estimates for Oregon: July 1, 1992

Population estimates for 1992 show that Multnomah County (605,000) continues to have substantially more people than any other Oregon county. Washington County is the second most populous county (340,000}; Clackamas County (294,500) has surpassed Lane County (293,700) for the third most populous county. In 1991, Lane County had 2,200 more persons than Clackamas County (290,900 vs. 288,700). At the other end of the population spectrum, six counties have fewer than 8,000 people. Wheeler County has the smallest population (1,500) with Gilliam County (1,750) and Sherman County (1,800) also containing fewer than 2,000 persons. The other counties with fewer than 8,000 people are Harney (6,950), Wallowa (7,150), and Lake (7,350). Figure 2 shows a map of the population density by county. Oregon has 31 persons per square mile, but there is a tremendous variation among its counties. Multnomah County has a substantially higher persons per square mile than any other Oregon county and its figure of 1,390 is three times that of Washington County which has the second greatest population density {470). Three other Oregon counties have more than 100 persons per square mile: Marion (204), Clackamas (158), and Benton (108). Seven Oregon counties have fewer than three persons per square mile: Grant (2), Sherman (2), Wallowa (2), Gilliam (1), Harney (1), Lake (1), and Wheeler (l}. Each of these counties is located East of the Cascade Range. Table 4 categorizes Oregon cities by population size. Portland is Oregon\u27s most populous city and its estimated population of 458,275 is about four times the second and third most populous cities: Eugene (118,370) and Salem (111,575}. The city of Portland has more persons than any Oregon county with the exception of Multnomah. It is quite clear from Table 4 that Oregon has many small cities. Approximately 86% of Oregon\u27s 240 incorporated cities have a population under 10,000. Fewer than one-fourth of Oregon\u27s cities have 5,000 persons and half of the cities have a population under 1,325. As in the 1980\u27s, many cities gained new residents because of expanding city boundaries (Table 5). In the previous 27 months, 53 cities (22% of Oregon\u27s cities) annexed land containing 21,832 persons. Portland gained 13,962 residents through annexations and Albany gained 3,866 residents. Other cities gaining more than 100 persons through annexations are Bend (+1,561), Roseburg (+538), Wilsonville (+375), Salem (+271), Hillsboro (+209), and Fairview (+187). Oregon\u27s population is a little older than the national average with a median age of 34.9 years relative to the national average of 33.3 years. Approximately 13.7% of Oregon\u27s population (406,881) is aged 65 and older compared to the national average of 12.7%. Oregon\u27s elderly population (those aged 65 and older) has grown by 103,500 persons since April 1, 1980, reflecting a growth rate which is almost triple the overall state average during this time (34% to 13%). The rapid rate of growth among Oregon\u27s elderly population is consistent with the national trend of an increasing proportion of elderly
