What the data says about Portland
Portland's population has dipped 2.6% since 2020. That makes site selection more important: we focus on the densest neighbourhoods and on buildings with strong occupancy.
Laundry is one of the few household chores that cannot move online. That makes a well-run neighbourhood laundromat a recurring, local habit.
First read: street stores plus apartment buildings
Portland is big enough to combine visible street stores with shared laundry rooms in apartment buildings, building density across neighbourhoods. The final decision comes from a territory study done with you before signing.
