Several new projects, including a rebuilt Boys and Girls Club and a new town center, are bringing economic development to a place long ignored. There's nothing quite like southeast Portland, which is actually many southeast Portlands. Each is unique, but each is part of what makes Portland the city that it is and that it will become. Let's take a look at how southeast Portland stacks up against other communities in our area. Southeast scores high for affordability.
Public safety is slightly below average for the area but has improved from years past.
And the quality of public education in southeast could also be improved. Of course, there are other factors that shape a community. Many southeast Portland neighborhoods are being reborn with new retail shops and restaurants. Neighborhood involvement is on the rise, and southeast scores high when it comes to cultural diversity.
