% of Population on Food Stamps or SNAP (Last 12 Months), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Portland Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest SNAP participation rates, reaching 25–35% or above, concentrate in inner North and Northeast Portland zip codes as well as pockets near Gresham, while adjacent areas to the west—particularly Lake Oswego, West Linn, and parts of Beaverton—register among the lowest rates at under 5%. A clear east-west gradient is evident, with zip codes east of the Willamette River generally displaying elevated food assistance usage compared to western suburbs like Hillsboro and the Tualatin Valley. Vancouver's zip codes on the Washington side show moderate participation in the 10–20% range, forming a middle tier between Portland's high-need urban core and the more affluent southwestern suburbs.
