This map shows the households in Portland above or below the poverty level in 2000. Again, SE has the most number of households in poverty, however, NW/downtown has the highest poverty rate at 19%. It should be noted that these data are from the year 2000, when the Pearl District redevelopment was just beginning, and that the NW area includes both a high concentration of single occupancy units, low-income and affordable housing, and also now condominiums.
