Beaverton Population 1958-2008

Hello
This is one of those things that seems like it would be easy to find, but it is not, so here it is, for your convenience.

Beaverton Population estimates are special statistics from the Portland State University Population Research Center (PSU PRC). They estimate population of Oregon Counties and Incorporated Cities between Census years --the in-between years, because Census is only tabulated once every 10 years. This year, the US Census will be doing 2010 Census, which if tabulated thoroughly, will really help communities.

In the wayback machine, we thank PSU PRC for the following data:
