Shown in Report
Census population of the city of
Hillsboro
of April I 194o.
3.727, according to an official an­
nouncement received here Thursday
from Albert R McCall, supervisor of
census in Oregon The figure, yet
subji ct to correction, represents an
increase of 688. or almost 23 per
cent over the 1930 census figure of
3.039.
No official census reports had
been received by Tuesday in other
large Washington county commu­
nities but statements are expected
from Salem within the next week
At Forest Grove, unofficial reports
set the 1940 census at around 2450,
which would give that city a gain
of 591 over its 1930 population of
1859. or about 32 per cent.
Figures Cited
The rate of gain in Hillsboro's
population for the
t
decade just past
is consistent with preceding ten-
year periods, each census showing
an increase of about 23 per cent,
statistics reveal. The official pop­
ulation of this city rose more than
22 per cent in the ten years be­
tween 1910 and 1920. from 2.016 to
2.468 and more than 23 per cent
in the decade between 1920 and
1930, from 2.468 to 3.039
The 1940 census figure does not
take into consideration, however,
the fact of Hillsboro's “greater "
population. While the city’s bound­
ary lines have remained unchanged,
new residential areas have been
seen to spring up and grow rapid­
ly during the last decade in various
districts just outside the city limits.
Closest of these, perhaps, i.-
