Among the 60 largest places in Oregon, Portland has the most residents (641,165), followed by Eugene and Salem. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 60 places in Oregon that we cover, the median is 21,392 and the average 46,231; the figure runs from 641,165 (Portland) to 10,698 (Cottage Grove). That is a spread of 59.9 times between the two ends.
The first five are Portland, Eugene, Salem, Gresham, Hillsboro. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: size brings more employers and services but also longer commutes and more competition for housing. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
