Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Portland, OR. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Portland compares. Among the 60 largest places in Oregon, Portland is #1 by population, #6 for remote work (#1 = most), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #49 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Multnomah County, is #3 of 36 counties for average pay ($80,772).
Portland has 641,165 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 15.1% of the population of Oregon. It covers 133 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 4,803 people per square mile. The median age is 38.8, 4% younger than the state median (38.8 against 40.4).
The median gross rent is $1,655 a month (rent plus utilities), 9% above the state median ($1,655 against $1,525). Over a year that is 21.8% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $581,500, which is 6.4 times the median household income ($90,919); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 52.0% of households own their home, 18% below the state average (52.0% against 63.3%).
The Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metropolitan area has 1,208,410 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $60,690 a year, 19% above the national median ($60,690 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (127,020 jobs, median $52,840); food preparation and serving related (107,090 jobs, median $39,080); transportation and material moving (104,320 jobs, median $47,340). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (1.8 times) and community and social service (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($136,440) and computer and mathematical ($126,120). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Multnomah County was 4.3%. 70.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Multnomah County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 49.5% drive alone, 6.0% use public transit, 4.3% walk, 28.5% work from home. 10.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 10% below the state average (10.5% against 11.6%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
53.8% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 46% above the state share (53.8% against 36.8%). 12.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 26% above the state share (12.4% against 9.8%). The poverty rate is 12.8%, 7% above the state rate (12.8% against 11.9%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 67°F (19.7°C), and the coolest is Dec at 38°F (3.1°C). About 1,484 mm (58 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (251 mm) and Jul the driest (11 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Milwaukie (7 miles, rent 3% lower); Cedar Mill (7 miles, rent 14% higher); Vancouver (7 miles, similar rent); Oak Grove (9 miles, rent 5% higher). Rent differences are against Portland; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
