Population Non-Hispanic Black % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Portland Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Non-Hispanic Black population in the Portland metro area is heavily concentrated in a corridor running through North and Northeast Portland, where zip codes reach approximately 10–20% representation, reflecting the historical roots of Portland's Black community in neighborhoods like Albina. This cluster extends eastward toward the Gresham area at lower concentrations, consistent with well-documented displacement patterns driven by gentrification over the past two decades. Surrounding areas—including Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Vancouver, and the southern reaches of the metro—remain overwhelmingly below 5%, underscoring sharp racial geographic segregation across the region.
