Thanks, Tina.

Linger downtown for your evening assault.

Downtown Portland (~14,400 people) had 551 assaults and 97 robberies in 2025.

That’s an assault rate of ~3,825 per 100,000 — roughly 5× the already elevated citywide violent crime rate (~700/100k, double the national average).

But “art and culture”
