Portland: Near Zero Growth
The PSU Population Research Center released its preliminary 2011 population growth estimate for Portland as only .35%, far below land-use and growth planning projections. Does this mean the employment data is finally kicking in or just that immigration has halted and new college grads are still living out in the suburbs with Mom and Dad? Extrapolated over time this number will greatly affect housing demand and urban growth formulas.
