Oregon’s population increase is on par with a moderate economic climate, according to the initial estimates from a study by Portland State University’s Population Research Center (PRC).

Oregon’s population in 2012 increased by 35,290, from 3,883,735 in 2012 to 3,919,025 in 2013, according to a Nov. 19 press release from the PRC.

According to the release, “average annual population growth of the 2000s was 41,000; during the 1980s, which were economically more challenging times, the average annual increase was around 21,000, and in the more prosperous times of the 1990s, it was around 58,000 per year.”

As far as university enrollment is concerned, Fall 2013 is an all-time high for the Oregon University System, with an increase of over 1,500 students.
