Oregon's congressional districts

Oregon's congressional districts
OR-districts-108.JPG

The U.S. state of Oregon has had five United States congressional districts since 1982, when the Fifth District was added. Boundaries were redrawn following the population changes to each district as determined by the 1990, 2000, and 2010 Censuses. Although early projections suggested that Oregon might gain a sixth congressional district as a result of the 2010 Census,[1] the state's population was about 42,000 people short of gaining a new district.[2]

District 3 covers most of Multnomah County, including Portland east of the Willamette River, and the northern part of Clackamas County.

Following the 2010 census, the district boundaries were changed slightly to add Downtown Portland from the 1st district and southwestern Multnomah County from the 5th district, and move part of Multnomah County near Mount Scott and part of northwestern Clackamas County (including most of the city of Milwaukie) to the 5th district.[3][4]
