Census: Oregon 10th fastest-growing state

08:41 AM PDT on Thursday, April 21, 2005
By CHARLES E. BEGGS, Associated Press Writer

SALEM -- Oregon will be the 10th fastest-growing state in the next 25 years as its population increases to 4.8 million by 2030, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

In projections issued Wednesday, the bureau forecast that Oregon's 3.4 million population in the official 2000 Census will rise by 1.4 million by 2030 -- a 41 percent jump.

That's less than the 46 percent growth forecast for neighboring Washington, which is projected to have 8.6 million people by 2030 and the ninth-fastest growth rate.

The expected pace of growth in both states is well above the overall 29 percent population increase predicted for the United States by 2030.

The government estimates that California will gain another 12.5 million people by 2030 for a 37 percent gain since the 2000 Census. Census Bureau estimates peg Oregon as the second-fastest growing state in the Pacific region, including Alaska and Hawaii along with the three West Coast states.

The bureau estimates Oregon will rank 25th in population among the states by 2030, compared with 28th in 2000.

The census estimates "are pretty much in line" with separate population forecasts that are done by Oregon's Office of Economic Analysis, said Kanhaiya Vaidya, a population researcher in the office.

Vaidya said the agency foresees Oregon continuing to grow by net "in-migration" -- meaning more people moving into state than leaving.

A major reason is that the state is seen as attractive to seniors, he said.

"We believe the elderly population will keep coming to retire in Oregon," he said.

The Census Bureau predicts the number of people 65 and older in Oregon is expected to double by 2030 from their numbers in 2000, a rate of increase in line with the expected national trend.

At the same time, it's estimated that Oregon will drop from 25th in the proportion of its population that is 65 and older to 39th in 2030.

Even as Oregon's senior numbers rise, the proportion of people over 65 could drop compared with other states, Vaidya said. Other states with aging populations face relatively large numbers of their young people moving elsewhere.

Vaidya's office predicts that 19.4 percent of Oregon's people in 2030 will be 65 or older, a bit higher than the 18.2 percent forecast by the Census Bureau. That age group comprised 12.8 percent of Oregon's population in 2000.


Retirees, my ass! Next I'll post what the bastards are too cowardly to report. It isn't retirees that are fueling the growth in the state. I'll bet you can guess what is, though...

State swings back to rapid expansion

By Patrick McMahon, USA TODAY

of statewide and local data.

An influx of retirees and high-tech workers and more ethnic residents, notably Hispanics, fueled a 20% increase in Oregon's population in the 1990s, according to Census data released Wednesday.

The increase in total population to 3,421,399 also made Oregon the 11th-fastest-growing state in the USA. It is surrounded by even faster-growing states: Washington at No. 10, Idaho at No. 5, and Nevada, the nation's fastest-growing.

The 20% population increase followed a low 7.9% increase in the 1980s, a time when Oregon was seeking to control its growth after several decades of brisk expansion.

"Boom, we're back to historical numbers," says Robert Lang, an urban expert at the Fannie Mae Foundation who analyzed Census data for USA TODAY.

"Oregon is becoming more diverse," says Barry Edmonston, director of the Population Research Center at Portland State University.

"Of course, we're starting from a very homogeneous base," Edmonston said. "We're still 85% white."

But nearly every area of the state saw increases in Hispanics, who more than doubled their numbers statewide to 275,000.

"There are a whole slew of counties that doubled and tripled in Hispanic population," he said.

Much of the state's growth occurred in the Interstate 5 corridor between Portland and Salem, the state capital. The central Oregon area around the high-desert city of Bend remains the state's fastest-growing area. It is a magnet for small high-tech companies, the resort industry and retirees. Bend increased in population from 20,000 in 1990 to more than 50,000.

There also was a major influx of retirees along the California border in places such as Klamath Falls, Medford and Ashland.

The federal figures made comparing some categories difficult because multiracial categories were included for the first time. Almost 3 million people, about 87%, declared themselves whites. In 1990, the state had nearly 105,000 people who classified themselves as white Hispanics. People with Spanish-speaking ancestry are considered an ethnic group, not a racial group, so Hispanics can be white, black, Indian or multiracial.

Also, the 1990 Census lumped Pacific Islanders with Asians, giving the state more than 71,000 with that ancestry.

In 2000, Asians were a separate category numbering more than 101,000 in Oregon ? roughly a 40% increase when the relatively small number of Pacific Islanders is placed in a separate category.

Blacks increased to nearly 56,000 people statewide in 2000. That amounted to just over a 17% increase, slightly off the 20% pace of the state's overall population growth.

You are onto them!
America's population is supposed to hit 482 million in a few decades and ONE BILLION by the end of this century.
Brown, yellow and black that is the End Game, with the "white" slots reserved for a certain "religious minority"
