Demographic Data 

Applicants to advisory bodies have the option to complete a voluntary demographic survey. The voluntary demographic survey informs the Advisory Bodies Program on which communities in Portland are being served and which communities need further attention and outreach. 

Individual survey results are anonymous and amalgamated to represent the applicant pool. 

In 2022, we completed two (2) six-month reports providing a demographic snapshot of our applicant pool in those time frames.
