Official Census
Gives County 4337;
Heppner, 1140
Decade Drop 604;
Lex, Boardman
Gain in Nose Count
Morrow county lost 604 population
in the last ten years, according to
the official 1940 report just issued
by the U. S. Bureau of the Census.
The tabulation gives the 1940 count
at 4,337 as compared with 4,941 in
1930.
In the same period Heppner lost
exactly 50 in number, dropping from
1190 in 1930 to 1140 in 1940. Lexing
ton and Boardman were the only
towns registering gains in the same
period. Lexington was up 43 from
180 to 223. Boardman gained ten
from 100 to 110. lone lost 21 from
283 to 262, the 1940 figure. Hardman
was down 37 from 120 to 83.
Condon, similarly situated to
Heppner, fared a little worse than
did this city. It dropped 84 from
940 to 856. Gilliam county as a whole
also was a larger percentage under
the 1930 figures, losing 623 from
3467 to 2844. The neighboring coun
ty of Grant, on the other hand, gain
ed 440, being up to 6380 in 1940 as
compared with 3467 in 1930.
The state as a whole gained 135,
898 to pass the million mark for the
first time. The 1940 figures for the
state are 1,089,684, whereas in 1930
they were 953,876.
Between 1930 and 1940 Oregon's
rural areas grew faster than the ur
ban places, according to the state
ment of Director William Lane Aus
tin, accompanying the bureau re
port, who said this period thus re
versed a trend toward greater con
centration of population in the ur
ban areas, which lasted from 1850
to 1930.
The first census of Oregon was
taken in 1850, returning a population
of 13,294. (This number includes
1,201 returned for an area now in
the state of Washington. Oregon
was admitted as a state in 1859 with
boundaries as at present.) The state
has shown a population increase at
every census since 1850, but the rate
of increase during the past decade
was the lowest in the state's history.
Another bureau report on census
for vacant dwellings shows Morrow
county to have 1,421 dwelling units,
1,243 of which were occupied when
. the 1940 census was taken, or a va
cancy percentage of 9.6. This com
pares with the state percentage of
6.8 percent.
