Decline of Birth Rates Threatens Oregon Rank
A recent census bulletin notes Oregon's birth rate has fallen from historic highs to well below the national average. From 1860 to the present, Oregon moved from leading the nation to lagging behind most states, with a decline of about 64 percent over four decades. Analysts attribute this trend to social changes, migration toward cities, increased education, rising living costs, and shifts in family planning.
