Oregon Values and Beliefs Center

Past surveys asked how residents feel about Portland’s challenges. This year’s survey asks what the city should DO about them.

Portland leaders have tough choices to make about our city's future. They need to hear from you. What should the city do about growth? Should the city raise taxes or cut services? Where should money go? Who gets to decide? Tell city leaders what residents actually want.

Results will be made public to inform policy decisions across Portland. You must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Oregon to participate. Participation is voluntary & anonymous.

At the end of the survey, you will have the opportunity to enter your name in a drawing for twenty $50 gift cards to local Portland businesses! Take the survey at ovbc.info/2026_PDX.

OVBC is proud to be an outreach partner of a survey opportunity unique to Oregon this year: Pride in Numbers. The Pride in Numbers project is for Oregonians who are 18+ and identify as Two-Spirit and/or LGBTQIA+.

"Pride in Numbers is a community-led, statewide research project built by and for Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ Oregonians. Through an online survey, storytelling sessions, and a community art project, Pride in Numbers is creating a powerful portrait of Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ life in Oregon."

Anyone interested in taking the survey or learning more about the project can visit the Pride in Numbers website: prideinnumbers.org
