Population Forecasts

Oregon Population Forecast Program (OPFP)

Under the OPFP, the Population Research Center (PRC) produces projections for the population of Oregon counties and Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) areas. For more information about OPFP, common questions about OPFP Forecats, or about other demographic forecasts conducted by PRC, including forecasts by age, sex, and race/ethnicity, or for special district and small area forecasts, please visit  Forecast Program Information page.

Current OPFP Cycle (2022 - 2025)

Each region of the state and its constituent UGBs (urban growth boundaries) are forecast once each 4-year cycle. This site contains releases from the current OPFP cycle, and is updated as each region is forecast. Results for regions not shown below are available from the previous cycle (2018-2021) on the Past Reports page.
