Different areas within Oregon counties experience different growth patterns. Those patterns combine to collectively determine county‐level demographic changes. Washington County is comprised of three types of areas: areas within Metro’s jurisdiction, urban‐growth boundary (UGB) areas outside of Metro’s jurisdiction (Banks, Gaston, and North Plains), and areas outside of Metro and those UGBs. In this report, we focus on Washington County as a whole as well as non‐Metro sub‐areas.

However, some of its sub-areas experienced more rapid population growth during the 2000s. North Plains, the most populous UGB in Washington County outside of the Metro boundary, and Banks, posted the highest average annual growth rates at 2.0 and 3.0 percent, respectively, during the 2000 to 2010 …
