FBI UCR crime reporting is voluntary and incomplete, so this rate reflects reported incidents, not a definitive measure of danger, and city-level rankings below can omit non-reporting agencies entirely.

The quick read

How to read the Oregon profile without drowning in rankings

Oregon has 59 cities tracked on Areazine with populations of 10,000 or more, representing roughly 2,650,686 residents inside those city boundaries. The state-wide average of city median incomes is $87,163, and the average median home value across those cities is $481,388. These aggregates are simple averages of city medians, not population-weighted. Use the per-city ranking tables below for place-level work; use the aggregates for a quick cross-state benchmark.

The ranking cards further down organize the same underlying data through different lenses: largest, highest income, most affordable, most educated, fastest growing. Each linked ranking page names the sort field and direction so comparisons stay honest across lenses.

Using the Oregon profile

Treat this as a benchmark to drill down from, not a verdict on any one city.

  • Treat the state aggregates as a benchmark only, they are simple averages of city medians, not population-weighted.
  • Drill into a specific Oregon city for place-level population and economics, plus county-level health and hospital data. Browse cities
  • Rank Oregon cities on wellbeing, affordability, growth and more. Community rankings

State crime figures are statewide FBI UCR rates; not every city reports comparable city-level crime data.

About this Oregon profile

The Areazine Oregon profile is rebuilt every time an upstream federal release ships. Demographic and economic figures advance with the American Community Survey five-year estimate cycle. Health prevalence and access-to-care indicators advance with the CDC PLACES annual release. Hospital quality scores advance with the CMS Hospital Compare quarterly refresh. Crime rates and offense distributions advance with the FBI Crime Data Explorer release. Each individual figure on this page carries its own vintage, named explicitly in the source citation, so the user can verify against the upstream record without having to track our internal refresh schedule.

Cross-checking is encouraged. Every figure on Areazine is built from a publicly available federal source whose primary URL is documented in the methodology pane. If a number on the Oregon page disagrees with a number you saw elsewhere, the right next step is to compare vintages and field definitions: many discrepancies between data providers reduce to a different release date or a slightly different statistical universe (for example, ACS one-year versus five-year estimates, or UCR offenses-known-to-law-enforcement versus arrest counts). When the field definitions match and the vintages match, federal sources tend to be the canonical reference; Areazine's editorial approach is to surface the canonical number rather than to mediate or smooth.

Data Sources

City population from GeoNames/Census Bureau. Economic data from the Census Bureau American Community Survey (2024 5-year estimates, place geography). Health data from the CDC PLACES program. Hospital ratings from CMS Hospital Compare.
