Oregon see sharp decline in population

 

Oregon Sees Sharp Decline In Population For First Time Since 1983

Long before our world drastically changed in 2020, Americans have made a habit of packing up in search of a better quality life. It wasn’t too long ago, Oregon was the number one place to move to in 2016. In fact, for three years in a row, more people were moving to Oregon than anywhere else in the country. You could say our secret was out. Oregon was number one and seemingly favored for not only its vast beauty with endless outdoor activities, but its rich diversity.

Oregon’s population increased by more than 40,000 people over the course of 2018 according to an estimate from Portland State University’s Population Research Center. Since 2010, more than 400,000 residents have moved to Oregon, per an article from OPB in 2019.
