The Population Research Center provides analyses and projections for special populations on a cost reimbursable basis. The purposes of such projections is to assist agencies and organizations in their long-term planning and services. The work can be conducted either directly with agencies and organizations, or in partnerships with consulting firms retained by the organizations.

• Golf Club Membership Studies:
  We have prepared long-term membership analysis in recent years for the Portland Golf Club and have provided independent evaluation of membership analysis for the Myrtle Creek, Oregon Golf Club.This work has involved two approaches: (a) to evaluate the demographic composition and likely forecast for the local population and the prospects for long-term growth of golfing activities and (b) to analyze the age composition of golf club members, the annual entry of new members and the departures of existing members and to forecast the likely trends for the next several years.

• Other Studies:
  We have prepared long-term membership analysis for other special populations, including membership in athletic clubs.

• American Indian Studies:
  We have provided analysis of long-term program needs, for the Coquille Indian Tribe, built on a current population profile and demographic outlook. We worked closely with the Warm Springs Indian population on improving their demographic data and ability to analyze data for program needs. We prepared a detailed analysis of the American Indian population living in Multnomah County. We analyzed demographic information for recent decades for the Sederloke Corportaion in order to provide current trends of original shareholders and their decendents, as well as a population projection for future population changes.
