The Portland metropolitan area is a metro area with its core in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington.[2][3] It has 5 principal cities, the largest being Portland, Oregon.[4] The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) identifies it as the Portland–Vancouver–Hillsboro, OR–WA Metropolitan Statistical Area, a metropolitan statistical area used by the United States Census Bureau (USCB) and other entities. The OMB defines the area as comprising Clackamas, Columbia, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill Counties in Oregon, and Clark and Skamania Counties in Washington.[5] The area had a population of 2,512,859 at the 2020 census, an increase of over 12% since 2010.[6]

The Oregon portion of the metropolitan area is the state's largest urban center, while the Washington portion of the metropolitan area is the state's third-largest urban center after Seattle and Spokane (the Seattle Urban Area includes Tacoma and Everett[7]).[8] Portions of the Portland metro area (Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties) are under the jurisdiction of Metro,[9] a directly elected regional government which, among other things, is responsible for land-use planning in the region.
