Multnomah County · Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA · Population 1,008
Portland, OR (ZIP 97204) sits in Multnomah County within the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 31.5%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $35,613. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $376,618, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $109,581 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. Federal QCEW filings show 498,988 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was severe storm-related (SEVERE WINTER STORMS, STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, LANDSLIDES, AND MUDSLIDES, 2024). Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Oregon levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $376,618 would pay roughly $22,371/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 6,415 residents (969 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: fair market rent of $1,800 for a two-bedroom and a 58.9% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 31.5%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
