What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A DHM Research poll of 600 registered voters found that 53 percent of young Oregonians considering moving would leave the state. More than half of respondents aged 18 to 29 said they were considering moving within five years, and 70 percent of those moves would be out-of-state. The poll cited lower taxes as a reason for the potential migration.

The findings amplify concerns about Oregon's population stagnation and shrinking labor force. This trend follows a period where population growth slowed in 2025 to 0.33 percent, down from 0.41 percent the previous year, according to Oregon Business Economist Damon Runberg.
