PRC releases population forecast for Washington County
Highlights include:
- The County's population growth rate is forecast to peak at 1.7 percent in 2020, before slowing through 2067. The slowdown is expected to result from an aging population and lower fertility rates, combined with a steady rate of net in-migration.
- North Plains is expected to see a growth rate of 5.5 percent through 2035, which would more than double the current population of 2,266.
- Banks' growth rate is forecasted to be 2.3 percent, generating a population increase of about 1,000.
Forecasts for the Washington County cities within the Metro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) will be completed by Metro in 2018.
