Accept the State of Housing in Portland 2022 Report

The Portland Housing Bureau asks the City Council to accept the annual State of Housing in Portland 2022 Report. The State of Housing in Portland Report is published each year to provide elected officials, policymakers, government institutions, community organizations, and other partners with the information to guide discussions and decisions on housing policy and resources.

Not applicable.

The State of Housing in Portland report blends historic data on households and housing stock with current data on housing production and the rental and ownership markets. The data is derived from many sources, including the Census Bureau, Multnomah County, Metro, the City of Portland, and several sources of market data. Given Portland' s changing market, it was important to all involved that the data used was the most current available, and possessed the capacity to be updated regularly. It is important to recognize that these sources are imperfect and routinely undercount vulnerable populations, including Communities of Color. Despite these limitations, the strength of the data sources is that are updated regularly. To whatever extent possible, the Housing Bureau will work to continuously refine the data sets utilized as it moves forward with this reporting.
