There’s only one major U.S. city less diverse than Portland, according to a new report.
On Wednesday, WalletHub uncovered its ranking of Arlington, Texas, Houston, New York, Charlotte N.C. and Los Angeles as the top five large cities for diversity.
The personal finance platform describes large cities as those with at least 300,000 residents. And out of the 64 cities ranked within this group, Portland sits at No. 63 — with 65.55 points out of 100 for its diversity score.
The only major metro with a lower score was Detroit.
WalletHub’s report covers more than just race. The website ranks each city across five categories of diversity: socioeconomic, cultural, economic, household and religious. It used data from the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Religion Census to assess these categories. Dysentery cases rise in Portland metro area, health department reports
“The most diverse cities demonstrate diversity in many dimensions — not just in race and gender but also everything from residents’ languages and birthplaces to their job types and household sizes,” WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo said in the report. “These cities blend together a multitude of different perspectives, helping people to better understand the world around them and become more empathetic. This exchange of ideas also tends to increase the economic success of diverse cities.”
When it comes to mid-size cities, or those with populations between 100,000 and 300,000, some Oregon destinations scored slightly better. Salem ranked at No. 71 out of 156 places, with Hillsboro at No. 82 and Gresham at No. 88.
But Eugene was ranked the 150th-most diverse mid-size city and Bend fell to the 154th spot. ‘Be suspicious’: Sweet Home woman warns of chicken scam amid egg shortage
Notably, Gresham was recognized as the mid-size city with the best income diversity. WalletHub reported that the Portland suburb’s income diversity exceeds the average of all cities by 17.6%.
In the small cities category, Beaverton had Oregon’s best ranking at No. 67 out of 281. Corvallis, Medford and Springfield all placed within the bottom half.
We’re #2! Where the riots at?
ya... the population of detroit were all payed to move out to the suburbs during obama. all the litter strewn all over our neighborhoods is a sure sign where concentrations are...
Did Intel start getting rid of all the H1b?
I think not.
This cannot be accurate - did they completely avoid Atlanta on purpose?
There is also a "diversity scam" It usually is code for "too many white people," but Detroit in the list belies that general rule.
That’s why those white liberals become so stoopid. TX and other states should also bus immigrants there.
TX may have a conservative reputation, but it is full of powerful RINOs, most much worse than Cornyn. Send the TX RINOs to Portland.
And yet Portland, OR is the center of bowing down to blacks, who there like everywhere else are the most violence and crime prone subpopulation of the country.
Stupid.
and diversity is some kind of plus? why?
“Diversity is our strength” is the classic propaganda statement made without any facts or evidence.
(In other words it is a lie.)
There is one metric that is used in almost every single case, even if it’s not mentioned. That is the percentage of white males. To most of those equity experts, it’s all they can see. I’m glad I’m not a white male just starting out.
Oregon and Vermont regularly trade places as the whitest states in the union. (also the most unchurched but that’s a different story)
A few years ago I had never been to Vermont. I was in upstate eastern New York and decided to take the ferry across Lake Champlain to check Vermont off my list.
As soon as I got off the ferry I was overwhelmed with Black Lives Matter signs at nearly every home.
I thought about what would happen if these oh so pure leftists actually ever met a black person? It would be kind of funny to see. They would either recoil in horror or get their wallets out to offer personal reparations and apologies.
I haven’t spent much time in Oregon and have never been to Portland so I can’t compare.
Portland - a bunch of white Liberals.
So this means most everybody in Portland is crazy?
We already knew that.
The same thing that happened when illegals showed up on Martha’s Vineyard
2nd most racist, after D.C.

A city of white liberals, what could go wrong?
They did not follow the usual path down.
They repudiated public safety and civilization while staying mostly white.
