  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Enrollment Forecast for Horizon Christian School 2005-2015 Author: Portland State University. Population Research Center, Proehl, Risa S. Year: 2000 This report provides a 2005-2015 school Enrollment Forecast for Horizon Christian School by grade level, and includes background demographic information and analysis for Horizon Christian School’s market area. The market area for this study consists of Northern Wasco County and Hood River County School Districts in Oregon, and White Salmon School District in Washington. Horizon Christian School, offering grades pre-kindergarten through 12, is located in the city of Hood River and its classrooms are located in rented spaces at three different sites throughout the city. Plans to construct a new facility to house Horizon on one campus have been made. The factors that are likely to affect Horizon’s enrollments are considered in this report, including the occurrence of demographic events and the construction of a new school facility. Three different scenarios of enrollment changes were developed to account for different probabilities of demographic changes and the effects a new school facility will have on enrollments. Each of the three Enrollment Forecasts uses one of the following assumptions: (a) current demographic and enrollment trends will continue throughout the forecast period; (b) a new school facility will be constructed and operational beginning in the 2006-07 school year, and (c) a new school facility will be operational beginning in the 2006-07 school year and population growth in Horizon’s market area will increase during the forecast period.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: PRC Gresham Parks Report: Demographic and Parks Access Analyses Author: Radin, Kenneth, Sharkova, Irina V. Year: 2007 The City of Gresham Parks & Recreation Division (GPRD) requested that the Portland State University Population Research Center (PRC) prepare a demographic profile, population forecasts, and parks and natural areas access analyses (‘parks access’) for the City of Gresham and its Springwater and Pleasant Valley planning areas. The study will inform GPRD’s Parks, Natural Areas, and Trails Comprehensive Planning effort, currently underway. The demographic profile discusses current conditions and likely future trends for population, housing, and households, with a focus on age and race/ethnicity. It includes many demographic map ‘layers’, which in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software can be overlayed on parks access layers. Year-2020 population forecasts are prepared by age and sex for the City of Gresham and, for the general population, by Gresham’s neighborhoods, Pleasant Valley, and Springwater. Parks access analyses focus on GPRD parkland typologies: Neighborhood and Community parks, Natural Areas (Open Space), and Trails. One model includes versions for existing and proposed conditions, while the other two build on the first, adding an analysis of parkland quality, proximity to schools, and proximity to parks outside Gresham. Model summaries and other parks access data, by neighborhood, are provided in an appendix. The report is divided into two main sections: Section I includes the demographic profile and population forecasts. Section II covers the parks access analyses. Together, both sections hold insights and analytical tools with which the City of Gresham can move forward confidently in its Comprehensive Planning effort.

Population Research Center, Edmonston, Barry, Lycan, Richard, Proehl, Risa S. Year: 2003 This report provides a school Enrollment Forecast, including demographic information, for Portland Public Schools. The report considers several factors that are likely to affect the school district's enrollments between the present and 2010, including the future number of births, net migrants, and the proportion of school-age children and youth enrolled in the public schools. This is the third annual report that forecasts future enrollments for the Portland Public Schools. Previous annual reports were based on October 1999, 2000, and 2001 enrollments; this report relies on October 2002 enrollments. To take into account a variety of demographic and enrollment possibilities, this report describes an extrapolation of likely future trends for housing, population, and enrollment changes between the present and 2010.

Year: 1999 This report provides a school Enrollment Forecast, including background demographic information and analysis, for the Eagle Point School District (Jackson County School District #9). Several factors that are likely to affect the District’s enrollment between 2000 and 2010 are considered and the geographical areas within the District (the cities of Eagle Point and Shady Cove, the unincorporated urban area of White City, and the rural unincorporated area) are examined. To account for different probabilities of demographic events, three scenarios of population, housing, and enrollment changes were developed. Forecasts are made for the total District, by grade level, for the years 2000, 2005, and 2010 using three assumptions: (a) the most likely enrollment growth assuming housing growth projected by local planners, (b) lower enrollment growth, assuming that housing and population grow at a slower pace and, and (c) high enrollment growth, assuming that housing and population growth increase at higher rates.
