(2) Combination of Lane, Benton, Linn, Douglas, and Lincoln. <br /> <br />Current and future population projections associated with the airport’s metropolitan statistical area (MSA) <br />were examined and compared to Oregon and the U.S. One of the leading objective sources for assessing <br />market growth in the U.S. is Woods and Poole. The 2016 Woods and Poole data were used to provide <br />forecasted information on population, as shown in Figure 2-9. Lane County and Oregon’s population <br />growth have historically been outpacing the U.S. average population growth rate. However, it is projected <br />by Woods and Poole that growth in Lane County and Oregon will slow between 2014 and 2040. Although <br />the population rate of growth is expected to lessen in the future, the slower forecasted rate of growth <br />indicates a stronger, more stable economy for the area. <br /> <br />Overall, the picture derived from the examination of the historical and future population forecasts for <br />Lane County and the other counties in the catchment area, present a positive outlook for the area and <br />EUG. <br /> <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 2-12 <br /> <br />
