Total population for Oregon? Think you can guess? (this is based on 2006 figures)....
3,700,758!!!!! To put into perspective....the population of California (for 2006) was 36,553,215!
1,833,458 of the Oregonians were male, while 1,867,300 were female! (that's right boys....we're building our team!)
The median age was 37.6, with the majority being between the age group of 18 and over (pre-retirement)
The total housing units? 1,586,600! (that seems like a bit of potential...huh folks?)
The housing occupancy was 1,449,662, with 136,938 that were vacant!
The homeowner vacancy rate was 1.5, while the rental vacancy rate was 5.6
Some other facts that I found intriguing I thought I would share.....
There were 30,836 Structures that were built 2005 and after! (remember based on 2006 stats)
149,426 structures built between 2000-2004 and something else I saw was that there were 202,262 homes built Before 1939! (gotta love old town!)
Some stats on the housing tenure:

Here's a really interesting tidbit I saw that gives on a percentage the monthly owner costs of homeownership to their income! With and without a mortgage!

These are just a few of the vast amount of information that I found on this site: http://www.census.gov/
You can type in just about any state,city,etc, and based on the last survey completed, you can find all sorts of information! I feel it is a valuable tool for both real estate professionals, as well as buyers and sellers to learn about their own areas!
