Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.

HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

On the ground

What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.

Multnomah Village is the search inside the Multnomah association. A main street, houses up the hill, and the lowest property rate in this set. Hillsdale is the next hill. Downtown is a drive.

Scores on this page stay inside Portland. Multnomah is the official association; other names are searches, not extra polygons. School ratings are thin in this snapshot. A neighbor on the schematic map is not a shared fence.

Compiled from Zillow neighborhood guides, 5280 Magazine, Chicago and San Francisco resident guides, Mpls With Love, Eastside LA reporting, Seattle Times coverage, Boston planning-neighborhood writing, Philadelphia neighborhood writing, Portland neighborhood writing, and local writing, 2025–2026.

Downtown

$1K ACS median rent

The official name is Portland Downtown. Pioneer Courthouse Square and the bus mall are the center; the Part I count includes visitors and the night. Walk is the point. A yard is not. Old Town is a different association and not this row.

Hillsdale

Southwest hills and a town center, with a shorter OHSU trip than most of this set outside Goose Hollow. Houses, not a strip. Do not confuse it with the Northwest District.

Goose Hollow

Between Providence Park and the West Hills. A MAX line, smaller apartments, and the short OHSU commute in this set. It is not Nob Hill, and it is not the Pearl.

Hosford-Abernethy

$2K ACS median rent

Division and Clinton are the searches. The official name is Hosford-Abernethy. The polygon also takes the industrial edge toward the river, so the property rate — second-highest here — is not a story about every Clinton bungalow.

Sellwood

Sellwood and Westmoreland, one association: the bridge, the antique row, more house than Hawthorne. Search Moreland or Westmoreland and you land here. It is not a west-side neighborhood.
