Numbers Don't Lie (But They Can Be a Bit Shy)
According to the 2020 census, there are around 60,000 people of Hispanic or Latino origin living in Portland. That's roughly 10% of the city's population, which means you're bound to hear some Spanglish conversations brewing around town.
However, here's the thing: census data is kinda like a stubborn donkey sometimes. It takes a while to get all the information rounded up, so these numbers might be a tad outdated. Plus, not everyone fills out those census forms (come on, we've all been there). So, the real number could be a bit higher, a sprinkle of magic pixie dust on top if you will.
The takeaway? There's a thriving Hispanic community in Portland, and it's likely growing bigger by the day.

Bonus tip: Keep an eye out for the next cultural festival! Portland has a bunch throughout the year, and they're a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the music, food, and traditions of Hispanic cultures.
