4B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JULY 3, 2015 Oregon’s retirement-age population growing fast By ELLIOT NJUS The Oregonian PORTLAND — The re- tirement-age boom is well underway in Oregon. Oregon’s 65-and-old- er population grew by 18 percent between July 2010 and July 2014, according to newly released popu- lation estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. That outpaces the country as a whole, which saw its senior population grow by 14.2 percent in the same time pe- riod. Most Oregon counties saw their 65-and-older pop- ulation grow by more than 10 percent in the same time period. No county saw a de- crease. It’s the leading edge of the baby boomer genera- tion, born between 1946 and 1964. The first boomers reached 65 in 2011. In the first couple of years after 2010, “we prob- ably had kind of slow going compared to what we’re go- ing to have over the next 15 years or so,” said Charles Rynerson of the Population Research Center at Portland State University. “It’s just going to keep growing and growing.” Deschutes County saw the biggest increase. Its 65-and- over population grew 31 percent between 2010 and 2014, followed by Washing- ton County (24.2 percent) and Clackamas County (23.2 percent). Oregon has received some national attention as a retirement destination, but much of the explosion in the retirement-age popula- tion comes from people who were already here. In 2010, the Portland area was notable for is dis- proportionately high popu- lation of people in their 50s and 60s — the people who are beginning to turn 65 to- day. And much of that popu- lation comes from a torrent of young and well-educated people who moved to Ore- gon in the 1970s. Sound familiar? “There’s a lot of young, well-educated people who have been coming here since the ‘90s, but they were com- ing here in the ‘70s, too,” Rynerson said. The Census Bureau also found that the millennial generation, born between 1982 and 2000, has grown to 83.1 million and now out- numbers baby boomers. And 44.2 percent of U.S. millennials are part of a minori- ty race or ethnic group, making them more diverse group than any previous generation. The youngest Americans are even more diverse yet, with a majority belonging to a minority race or ethnic group. 30 minutes to complete the walk.
