Fun Friday: Rockin’ the Suburbs

reviously we took a look at Oregon’s very precedented growth. Today’s population gains are on par with the growth seen pretty much every year during the 1990s technology-led expansion. In many parts of the state the gains today are smaller than the 1970s as well. This is particularly true in growth rates, given we’re a much larger place today than a generation or two ago. However, there are a few places in Oregon that are growing about as fast as they ever do. And there is one place in particular where population gains truly are unprecedented in its modern history: the City of Portland.
