Citable statement

In ACS 2024, 118,547 people living in Oregon reported living in another U.S. state one year earlier (± 8,898), and 112,955 people living in another state reported living in Oregon a year earlier (± 8,852), both at 90% margin of error.

Net interstate balance

Oregon recorded 5,592 more arrivals from other states than departures to them (difference ± 12,551, 90% MOE). That balance sits inside its own margin of error, so the table does not establish a net direction.

Oregon's population in the year to July 2025

On July 1, 2025, Oregon had an estimated 4,273,586 residents, 8,262 more than a year earlier (+0.19%). Ranked by that rate of change, it is 40th of the 50 states and DC.

Components of change in the year to July 2025
  • Natural change (births minus deaths)−3,764
  • Net international migration+9,636
  • Net domestic migration (other states)+2,228

Net international migration (9,636) and net domestic migration (2,228) added people, while natural change (3,764) took them away; the gains were the larger side. Deaths outnumbered births, 42,098 to 38,334. The remaining 162 is the Census Bureau's residual, change the three parts do not explain.

Net domestic migration came to 0.5 per 1,000 residents, 30th among the 50 states and DC. Counting international arrivals too, net migration was 2.8 per 1,000.

Against the April 2020 estimates base of 4,237,282, the 2025 estimate is up 0.9%.

The state-to-state survey could not establish which way Oregon's balance with other states ran; the 2025 estimate puts net domestic migration at +2,228.

Oregon's Washington and California exchanges offset

Washington is Oregon's largest destination: 32,341 Oregon residents were living there after one year, versus 20,388 Washington residents now in Oregon. That outward difference is 11,953 ±5,367 under the stated 90% method. California is Oregon's largest origin, with 31,500 arrivals versus 17,954 departures; its inward difference is 13,546 ±6,003.

Those two established directions point opposite ways. Oregon's statewide inward point difference is only 5,592 against a ±12,551 comparison margin, so this table cannot establish a net statewide direction. A headline based only on the California or Washington route would miss the other side of the evidence. Compare Washington's state page.

Differences use the site's published 90% comparison method. These ACS figures describe residence one year earlier, not shipments or moving prices. Read the method.
