Frequently Asked Questions: Districts

What are the district boundaries? 

A district map look-up feature is available on PortlandMaps.com to look up in what district you are in. 

How were the district boundaries defined? 

The district line boundaries were defined by the Independent District Commission, an independent community body tasked with preparing and adopting the district plan. The Commission unanimously adopted a district plan in August 2023. The Commission followed state and federal districting laws and ensured that each district was as nearly as practicable, would be contiguous (one connected piece), utilize existing geographic or political boundaries, not divide communities of common interest, be connected by transportation links, and be of equal population.

To learn more about the District Commission’s work and engagement, see the Commission’s final report.
