What Are Neighborhood Profiles? 

Civic Life is partnering with Portland State University (PSU) Population Research Center to develop data-rich neighborhood profiles. This data sharpens our understanding of the unique changes and issues occurring in each neighborhood. The neighborhood profiles show information like: 

  • How your neighborhood has grown since 2010; 
  • What percentage of people speak a language other than English; 
  • How many of your residents are rent burdened; and
  • How many new housing units were added to your neighborhood.   

These neighborhood profiles will help the City and our community partners improve outreach, set programmatic priorities unique to each neighborhood and help Portlanders in need. 

What is the mapping tool?

There are many maps that have been developed within the City for specific programming needs. Civic Life is developing a data-rich interactive mapping tool that merges multiple data sources into one map, including the 2020 Census, the American Community Survey, Feeding America food insecurity data, CDC Social Vulnerability Index, Portlandness: A Cultural Atlas, and National Center for Health Statistics Life Expectancy Estimates. 

We hope this resource will help the City and community partners improve outreach, set programmatic priorities, help Portlanders in need and become more inclusive and equitable when making decisions about communications, programming, funding, and events. It will help to sharpen our understanding of the unique changes and issues occurring within each neighborhood.

Why are these tools unique? 

Most data, such as the U.S. Census, is aggregated by Census block. Unfortunately, Census blocks do not match neighborhood boundaries. These neighborhood profiles provide data related to each Portland neighborhood uncovering important information about our communities including race, ethnicity, languages spoken, food insecurity, income, and voting engagement. 

2020 Data

These profiles are based on 2020 Census data, the American Community Survey, Feeding America food insecurity data, CDC Social Vulnerability Index, Portlandness: A Cultural Atlas, and National Center for Health Statistics Life Expectancy Estimates.
