Business Districts

Our city starts here – at the intersection of business and neighborhood, where Portland becomes Portland.  Approximately 50 unique neighborhood business districts serve the diverse residents that call Portland home.  Stretching North to South and East to West, industrial hubs, urban enclaves and sprawling corridors make up Portland’s neighborhood business districts.  These critical corridors employ Portlanders, grow the economy and meet regional, national and international demand for goods and services.

 

Where Portland becomes Portland

Approximately 23,600 businesses make up Portland’s diverse neighborhood business districts.  Stretching across the city and representing every community from north to south and east to west, these businesses drive Portland’s economy, create half of the city’s jobs and contribute to Portland’s unique quality of life.
