Notes

  1. Column One Oregon Health Authority Public Housing Database
  2. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/multnomahcountyoregon/PST045217
  3. https://www.portlandmaps.com/ Aggregate number of neighborhood households is more current than Census and will exceed Census totals. Neighborhood percentages are based on these numbers.
  4. Undetermined total households is an estimate.
  5. OHA Public Housing Unit data includes some but not all Section 8 locations.
  6. Mayor Ted Wheeler refused to comply with a public records request for Section 8 locations. Political and legal remedies are on going. Section 8 and Portland Bond units were apportioned to neighborhoods relative to total public housing units per neighborhood.
  7. The tax base used to calculate the percentage of the Metro Bond going to Multnomah county is $75,599,623,000 / $181,451,451,000 = 42%
  8. The Metro Bond distribution used to calculate the percentage of the Metro Bond going to Multnomah county is Multnomah $587,520,000 X 42% = $244,783,331
  9. Metro Bond units were based on passage of both bond and amendment 42% X 3900 = 1,625 Units.
  10. Metro has designated that half of the 1,625 Public Housing units be assigned to <=30%MFI status. Mayor Ted Wheeler, who controls the Public Housing Authority of Multnomah County, has not divulged the future locations of these 813 Public Housing units nor has he informed voters where the existing <=30%MFI units are located. The other existing locations of Public Housing units identified as between 30% and 80% MFI are also being concealed from citizens.
