In 2010 Utah had a population of 2,783,885.
In 2010 Oregon had a population of 3,831,538.
Utah has a growth trajectory that is just under twice as fast as Oregon right now.
From 1970 to 2010
Utah has had a
growth rate average of about
27.25%.
Oregon has had a
growth rate average of about
16.5%.
In 1970 Utah had a population of 1,059,273
In 1970 Oregon had a population of 2,091,385.
Projecting into the future using the same growth rates would look like this:
In 2020 Utah at a 27.25 growth rate would have a population of 3,542493 (+ 758,608)
In 2020 Oregon at a 16.5 growth rate would have a population of 4,463,741 (+ 632,203)
In 2030 Utah at a 27.25 growth rate would have a population of 4,507,822 (+ 965,329)
In 2030 Oregon at a 16.5 growth rate would have a population of 5,200,258 (+ 736,517)
Why is this relevant? Because from the brief research I have done on this topic since Future Mayor brought it up, I found out Oregon (Portland), at their size right now, has been considered as a possible location for a MLB team.
My numbers come from the Census Website. http://2010.census.gov/2010census/data/index.php
