Analysis# Oregon Population Analysis
Oregon's population of 4.28 million in 2024 represents 11.62% growth over the past decade, positioning it as the 27th most populous state. The state's growth rate has moderated significantly from its peak in the 1910s, when Oregon experienced its highest decadal expansion during the period spanning 1900–2024. With over 124 years of demographic data, this slowdown reflects Oregon's transition from frontier expansion to a mature population center facing modern migration and fertility patterns.
