So do you think that this will be a result natural population growth, migrants from California/Oregon, migrants from other U.S. states, or migrants from other countries? I tried to look up population trends for various counties, but it isn't as straightforward as I had hoped. It seems like there should be a heat map showing population growth per county, so that we could see which counties are growing fastest. Also it would be interesting to look at the population trends east and west of the Cascades. Somewhere this data must exist, I'm surprised that it isn't in an easy to digest form, or that tracking it down hasn't been simple.
- gyardley 12y agoI honestly haven't done the research to back up my assumption that the more left-leaning areas west of the Cascades are growing faster than the rest of the state, fueled by migrants from other left-leaning urban areas. It would be interesting to see population trends and voting behavior changes by county over time.
