Is Portland in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Portland appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Portland, city of, community 410183, carrying Community Rating System class 5, which is a premium discount for exceeding the program minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Portland figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Multnomah County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Portland.
Is zoning published for Portland?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
