Three-pete. Portland population continue to decline for 3rd straight year
The bad news continues for Oregon and Portland. Populations are actually shrinking city, county, and state-wide.
Multnomah County has had a net lost of nearly 27,000 residents from 2020 to 2023 — a 3.3% drop in population, according to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Tidbits:
- 50% of out-migrant households from Portland’s tri-county area went to central Oregon, Washington, Texas and Arizona
- Clark County, Washington (just across the river in Washington State), saw a 3.1% increase in population from 2020 to 2023
