Abstract: A key component of Oregon's population growth, migration has shaped and continues to shape Oregon's social and cultural history, as well as its economic fortunes. Nowhere in Oregon are the sociocultural, economic, and political effects of migration more profound than in Portland, the state's principal economic region. Here, in the wake of the Great Recession, roughly 300 people moved to the Portland metro region each day - combined with 234 people moving out each day, the Rose City region attracted and retained roughly 66 in-migrants each day.
