I am gonna have to disagree with you on the town label, Portland is well past being labeled a town anymore. It is moving into big city status as it starts to take on big city problems.
Oregon land wise is a big state, but population wise Oregon is in the middle of the pack with much of our population along the I-5 corridor, and even then the majority of the population is in the northern part.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some serious growth in cities like Salem and Eugene, even Bend and surrounding towns will probably see some serious growth in the future.
