Portland has a total population of 620,500 people and is now the 26th most populous city in the United States and the fifth largest city on the West Coast. Recent economic gains in the job market and steady migration of young educated professionals is fast transforming Portland into a higher cost city. Between 2011 and 2016, the number and share of households in Portland earning $100,000 or more increased by over 11,000, with the share going up from 23 percent to 27 percent. This influx of high earning households put strain on the housing market. In 2018, renters as a group still hadn’t achieved their pre-recession income levels, while homeowners had easily surpassed pre-recession levels. The median renter household income was $39,998 per year while median homeowner incomes were $87,249 in 2017. Rents in Portland rose faster than any racial or ethnic group’s income, increasing by 22 percent between 2010 and 2017. However, this disparity is most pronounced for communities of color, which experienced stagnant or in some cases decreasing incomes when adjusted for inflation. Research shows that high rents, rather than personal circumstances, are the key to predicting the severity of homelessness across the country. In Portland, homelessness disproportionately affects most racial and ethnic minority groups. In our region, African Americans make up 12.1% of the homeless population, which is more than four times the group’s share of the general population. Similarly, the shares of people who are homeless that identify as American Indian/Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander are five times those groups’ representation in the general population. Rent increases from 2018-2022 were predicted to lead to a 17% increase in the incidence of homelessness in our region. In 2018, the City’s updated displacement risk analysis showed that Portland has almost 34,000 households at risk of being displaced. These are low-income renter households living in a gentrifying area who pay more than 30% of their income on rent. Even small increases in housing costs may push these ...
Community Demographics. The Cowichan Valley is predominately a rural (63%) community of approximately 63,000 people. Approximately 2.5% of homes are non-English speaking and about 9% are Aboriginal.

Community Demographics. School District No. 59 (Peace River South) consists of 19 schools with a projected enrolment of 3,997 FTE students. There continues to be a decline in the number of students in attendance. This trend is expected to continue for the next 3 years. For the past three years we have been making adjustments in the number of schools and the physical space to align with our student population. S Unique Characteristics: chool District No. 59 (Peace River South) is largely a rural district with a fairly dispersed population and a resource-based economy. A gradual but continued district enrolment decline over the past decade has led to some challenges including those related to the delivery of programs and educational support services in small schools. Small secondary schools in the district face particular challenges in offering graduation program options to students. We are continuing to explore the possibilities associated with distributed learning opportunities and how this model of delivery will increase the program options for students living in small rural communities. We find many of our students are choosing to enter the trades and technical programs, or directly entering the workforce. The District is proud of its partnerships with local industry and with post-secondary institution Northern Lights College. These partnerships are resulting in expanded career education opportunities for students. Data Collection and Analysis: Individual student data is collected and reviewed throughout the year at the district, school and classroom level. This continues to be important as it allows for personalization and the tailoring of the learning experience to the unique needs of the individual student. Special Education file reviews and transition meetings are conducted at each school. Individual student information is used to effectively link needs to the allocation of resources.

Wilsonville’s portion of the BCCP includes roughly 255 gross acres, 137 developable acres, and a potential buildable area of 2.08 million square feet. It is bounded on the north by the Basalt Creek Parkway and Tualatin’s portion of the BCCP area; to the east by Interstate-5; to the south by commercial and industrial uses in the Coffee Creek Industrial area; and to the west by the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility and West Railroad Industrial area.

Oregon City is a community in Clackamas County with approximately 38,000 residents. The Thimble Creek Concept Plan area in southeastern Oregon City is undergoing a slow transition from low-density residential and agricultural uses to a more commercial location. Oregon City is undertaking this assessment with the goal of supporting efforts to bring well-paid employment opportunities to Oregon City by developing specific strategies to address barriers to development in Thimble Creek. In terms of race, Oregon City is 82% white, 10% identify as having two or more races and 9.6% are of Hispanic Origin of any race. Finally, 0.9% of our residents are Black, 0.8% are American Indian and 2% are Asian alone (ESRI projection based on 2020 Census). The median age of our population is 40.3 years old. The median household income for Oregon City is $93,000, and 67% of homes are owner occupied. As there are only 78 families in the Thimble Creek study area, it is more informative to evaluate demographics taken as the City as a whole. Oregon City is home to approximately 1600 businesses. Our target sector industries include health care, light manufacturing and assembly, and distribution and logistics. Oregon City is the seat of Clackamas County, and as a result, is home to large number of government sector jobs. Oregon City’s commercial districts include downtown Oregon City and the Red Soils Business Park. Oregon City faces significant land constraints that inhibit the community’s ability to support business expansion and attract additional jobs. The successful completion of this project is a necessary step if Oregon City is to contribute to Metro’s 2040 employment related goals.

Community Demographics. General characteristics of individuals who completed both the screening and main surveys, by community of residence, can be found in Table 1 and Table 2. Overall, women constituted a majority of respondents (62.9%). The age distribution of respondents included individuals from 18 through 75 years of age, with nearly equivalent average age of respondents in both communities (33.9 years vs. 34.2 years). Population pyramids of each community by age category and sex can be found in Figure 3. Unemployment rates are very high in both communities: 62.5% of Peace Islanders reported being unemployed at the time of the survey and 57.6% of West Point residents reported the same. Average monthly household earning potential in both communities was found to be nearly equal, with an average of $61 per household per month in Peace Island and an average of $64 per household per month in West Point being reported. Individuals in Peace Island self-reported higher levels of education than individuals in West Point; 27.8% of all Peace Island respondents reported having completed college or a graduate degree whereas 17.5% of West Point respondents reported the same. While respondents in both communities tended to over report their literacy abilities, respondents in Peace Island were more likely to be able to read a newspaper headline when asked to do so. 61.4% of Peace Islanders were able to read the excerpt whereas 53.3% of respondents in West Point were able to read the excerpt provided by survey enumerators. The majority of respondents in both communities reported being in stable relationships, which includes couples that are married, dating seriously, or unmarried but currently living with a partner. However, Peace Island residents were more likely to report being single (34.2%) than West Point respondents (25.5%). Other sociodemographic variables of interest can be found in Table 1.
