NEARLY 4 MILLION Oregon population up 1 percent in year Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Nov. 19, 2014 at 5:56 PM Updated Nov 19, 2014 at 8:36 PM By The Associated Press Posted Nov. 19, 2014 at 5:56 PM Updated Nov 19, 2014 at 8:36 PM » Social News PORTLAND — As Oregon rebounds from the Great Recession, its population is growing more rapidly, mostly as a result of newcomers. Estimates from the Population Research Center at Portland State University show annual population growth at 1.1 percent. That's more than 43,000 people. The population remains shy of 4 million, at 3,962,565 as of July 1, according to the estimates. Oregon's population continued to grow through the recession, but at a slower rate. The rate was at about half a percentage point three years ago, and growth has accelerated since then. Risa Proehl of the research center says about three-quarters of the current population growth can be attributed to net in-migration — incoming minus outgoing. The rest is a result of what's called "natural increase," or births minus deaths.   By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Nov. 19, 2014 at 5:56 PM Updated Nov 19, 2014 at 8:36 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
