Census Pop Growth: Bend Only Oregon MSA in Top 20 for 06-07.

The Census Bureau released population growth data for Metro areas (MSA's) today.
I created an Excel workbook HERE which has several worksheets:

  1. All MSA data for two time periods 2000-2007 and 2006-2007
  2. Oregon only MSA data for the same two time periods

Highlights:
  • Bend MSA grew by about 5,000 from 2006-2007. That 3.3% rate of growth ranked 17th. in the country.
  • Bend MSA grew by about 39,000 from 2000-2007. That 33.5% rate of growth ranked 5th. in the country
  • Portland MSA grew by about 41,000 from 2006-2007. That 1.9% rate of growth ranked 76th. in the country.
  • Portland MSA grew by about 250,000 from 2000-2007. That 12.8% rate of growth ranked 84th. in the country.

  1. Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

    Mike
