Stumptown Stats is democratizing data to illuminate civic trends in Portland, Oregon. In 2022, Portland voters adopted bold reforms of Portland’s city government and elections. At the same time, our region was emerging from a global pandemic, reckoning with legacies of racial violence, and riding a national economic roller coaster that has shifted our sense of belonging, community, and common destiny.
We’re starting with historic data about Portland elections. We’ll add data sets and new analysis to track how civic life in Portland changes over the coming decade. This is a long-term project. After all, one year of data does not make a trend.
Stumptown Stats has been created by close-knit teams of volunteers who research and develop recommendations on policies, civic life, and public processes. It’s a great way to build community and make a difference. Meet the team.
