Portland Neighborhoods by the Numbers

Home sales prices, rent costs, crime numbers, and commute times for every neighborhood, from Linnton to Laurelhurst, Multnomah to Montavilla

Edited by Margaret Seiler Published in the March 2023 issue of Portland Monthly

Fewer homes sold in Portland city limits last year than in the year before, with the same leisurely average of 25 days on the market and just a 4 percent boost overall in the one-year median price change. Does that mean things were calm? As we learned from some homeowners who shared their stories with us, the answer is an emphatic no, and it all depended on just when and where you were looking, and your level of patience. There was the regular spring rise, a steeper than usual fall dip, and enough peaks and valleys in between to make for a real thrill ride.

Need room to roam? The largest homes, on average, sold in Dunthorpe, Forest Park, and Healy Heights. Love that urban density? The Pearl District and Sunnyside are the most densely populated west-side and east-side neighborhoods, respectively. Looking to hoof it? On the east side, University Park, Kerns, and Reed have the highest rate of people who walk to work. Do the kids need playmates? Pleasant Valley, Dunthorpe, Collins View, and Laurelhurst have the highest percentage of homes with children. Looking for other specifics check out the neighborhood details below.

Methodology

Neighborhood Boundaries represent records maintained by the city as of January 2023. Boundary conflicts were resolved for statistical purposes only. Due to overlap between certain neighborhoods, boundary definitions may vary occasionally across categories. With the exception of the area unofficially (but universally) known as Dunthorpe, unclaimed sections of Multnomah County were excluded. *Neighborhood boundary extends beyond city limits; only data within city limits calculated.

Real Estate 2022 data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service with analysis by the Center for Spatial Analysis and Research at Portland State University’s Department of Geography. Figures were rounded for legibility. In neighborhoods with very few home sales, such as Woodland Park and Healy Heights, the year-to-year change can appear exaggerated.

People Data for demographics columns and rent costs from the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates, released January 2023. The ACS data are estimates only and accuracy varies by attribute.

Rent Costs Calculated from all renter-occupied units, estimated median rent is not adjusted for unit size or number of occupants. Figure includes estimated monthly utility costs.

Median Income The Census defines household as including “all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence.” Thus living situations in this estimate range from individuals to large households.

Crime Portland neighborhood crime data sourced from the Portland Police Bureau. Not all types of crimes are included, and figures here are for comparative purposes only. Assault includes simple and aggravated assault. Larceny includes shoplifting, theft from motor vehicle, and theft of motor vehicle parts or accessories. Assault, arson, homicide, sex offenses, and robbery are included in the violent-crimes-per-1,000 figure. Many factors can influence crimes-per-1,000 figures and can sometimes complicate meaningful neighborhood comparisons (e.g., commercial districts, or neighborhoods with high traffic and low population).

Parks Data from Metro and/or individual cities.

Transit Data from TriMet. 

Minutes by Car to Downtown Google Maps estimate, based on February 2023 non-rush-hour conditions, from a neighborhood central point to Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. 

Walk Score 2022 data from WalkScore.com, now a part of real estate agency Redfin. This score reflects, on a scale of 1 to 100, a neighborhood’s pedestrian-friendliness based on distances to amenities such as grocery stores and other routine destinations. For some cities and neighborhoods with a commercial central point or a large nonresidential area (such as Forest Park), the score was taken from a point in a central residential portion.

Unavailable Data is noted with a dash (—).
