From an outsiders perspective, Portland is a beautiful city with lots of greenery, gorgeous buildings, affordable pubic transportation and acceptable for all individuals.
But for the individuals who live and have grown up in the city, Portland is a dangerous town with the amount of homeless, crime rates, human trafficking, and the violent protests. In fact, Portland is the third most dangerous city in Oregon.
- 5.2 violent crimes per 1,000 people
- 56.8 property crimes per 1,000
- 4,177 homelessness in Multnomah County
Not only are there many violent crimes and the homeless living in the streets, Portland has become a center for human trafficking. The city of Portland, out of all 50 states is one of the top sex trafficking cities in the Nation, coming in at number two.
