PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF OREGON IMMIGRANT FAMILY SURVEY
Prepared by L. R. Breithaupt, January, 1937
This brief summary gives some general information concerning the
purpose of
the survey, methods used, and some general conclusions.
The survey was made possible through cooperative action by the Oregon
Agricultural Experiment Station giving general supervision, editorial
service and publication,
the Rural Research Unit of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration
which provided
enumerator service for gathering the family survey data, and the Land Use Planning
Section
of the Resettlement Administration which provided clerical service
for tabulating the data
and drafting service in preparing the graphic table originals.
It is felt that the six graphic tables attached present the data
in detail very
well with respect to each of six groups of immigrant families into which the
schedules
were assembled for analysis, namely:

By "farm-operator" families is meant those families headed by a person who has
had the actual experience of operating and managing one
or more farms, no.t including the
farm laborers as such. By "non-farm--operatort' families
is meant those families headed
by a person who has not had any considerable experience, if
any, in the operation and
management of a farm, such as farm laborers, unskilled and semi-skilled
laborers, and
skilled workers, business and professional persons, etc.
The information was obtained by means of a sample survey taken in 112 rural
school districts in 16 counties. The purpose was to obtain
a general background of
information concerning the families who have been settling in Oregon
in increasing numbers, their reasons for coming to Oregon, and their progress in becoming etab1ished in
new homes.
In regard to the areas surveyed, the plan was to select a number
of school
districts which would provide a representative sample, then to take
a rather large
random sample within the respective school districts. Some difficulty was experienced
by the enumerators in obtaining complete answers to all of
the questions on the survey
schedules, particularly those in respect to net worth and relief matters.
Consequently,
a considerable number of "unknowns" appear on the graphic tables.
It is believed, however, that the information obtained gives a fairly reliable picture of these immigrant
people, their reasons for coming to Oregon, their attitudes toward
conditions here, their
economic status and progress, and, in the case of farm operators,
the size and type of
farms they came from, the size, type, and quality of the farms
they are settling on, and
other valuable information.
The total number of usuable records obtained was 831.

Reproductions of two charts which were published in Oregon Experiment Station
Circular of Information No. 157, entitled "Preliminary Information Concerning Immigration
into Rural Districts in Oregon - January 1933 to June 1936," are entered as page three of
this summary. These charts present a fairly reliable picture of the regions of previous
residence of these immigrant fami1ie and their present location in Oregon. However, the
second survey, the one with which the six graphic tables are concerned, covered a period
approximately twice as long as the survey reported in Circular 157. Consequently, the
charts do not indicate as great a number of immigrant families as actually settled in
Oregon during the longer period.
On this point, data given in Oregon Station Circular of Information No. 157 indicated that 5L30 such immigrant families arrived in Oregon from January 1933 to June
1936.
A check of 40 identical school districts covered by both surveys showed a ratio of
238 for the short period, January 1933 to June 1936, against 405 for the longer period,
January 1930 to November 1936. These figures suggest that around 9000 immigrant families
have settled in the open country and smaller towns in Oregon during the past seven years,
not including families who have settled in cities of 5000 population and over. Another
check leading to approximately the same conclusion is found in that 435, or 52.3 per cent
of the families surveyed came to Oregon during the period January 1, 1933 to June 1936.
If 5130 families are 52.3 per cent, then the total number coming during the 1930-1936
period would be 9800 families. With some allowance for arrivals in 1936 after the survey
data were taken, it is probably reasonable to assume a total of 10,000 for the seven-year
period.
Data on page three of this report indicate that approximately 41 per cent, or
perhaps 4100 families were experienced farm operators. Of these, perhaps 1500 or 1600
arrived during 1936, approximately twice the number indicated for the 1930-1932 period and
nearly as many as indicated for the entire 1933-1935 period.
The following general observations concerning the results of this survey may
be very helpful and of interest:
Regions of previous residence(Col. 1). Of the 831 families studied, 440, or
53.0 per cent, came from the Western group of states; 282, or 34.0 per cent from the North
Central States; 86, or 10.3 per cent from the South Central States; 10, or 1.2 per cent
from the North Atlantic States; 2, or .2 per cent from the South Atlantic; and 11, or 1.3
per cent, from foreign countries. These percentages compare closely with the findings of
the preliminary study reported in Station Circular of Information No. 157.
Reasons for migrating (Col. 2). Inadequate income was named by 51 per cent of
the families as a reason for leaving the state of previous residence and drought by 29
per cent. Other reasons in order of percentage of replies were; To change climate, 22
per cent; health, 13 per cent; loss of job, 9 per cent; with fewer giving a job awaiting,
urge for travel, educational, social and other reasons.
