That\u2019s due in part to the city\u2019s progressive vibe, which embraces creativity and supports local, independent businesses. This is evident in the fact that Portland has one of the highest rates of small businesses per capita in the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are a few of the other reasons Portland is a great place to live, work, and raise a family:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Downtown Portland is known as a \u201cwalker\u2019s paradise\u201d, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkscore.com\/score\/portland-or\" rel=\"nofollow\">88+ walkability score<\/a>. Many of the city\u2019s neighborhoods were designed so that you can get anything you need within a 15-minute walk!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The city has a genuinely strong \u201cbuy local\u201d ethic, with indie bookstores, record shops, maker spaces and, most of all, food carts. Portland also has strong policies that help local businesses thrive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portland is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkscore.com\/score\/portland-or\" rel=\"nofollow\">#2 city in the country for breweries<\/a>, many of which are family-friendly, dog-friendly, and neighborhood-based. There are more than 70 in the city, providing fun, energetic gathering places where friends and family meet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portland is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/portland\/2024\/07\/01\/best-bike-cities-ranking\" rel=\"nofollow\">America&#8217;s Top 5 biking cities<\/a>, and roughly 7% of the folks who live here bike to work. Over 385 miles of bikeways help, as well as the city\u2019s own \u201cbike boulevards\u201d designed especially for bikers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Like beer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelportland.com\/culture\/coffee\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Portland\u2019s coffee scene<\/a> is delicious! Dozens of indy roasters can be found here, and their shops often double as art spaces, community meeting spots, and work spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A short drive from the city you\u2019ll find the spectacular Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood, an outdoor activity paradise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"portland-has-a-strong-and-diverse-local-economy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Portland has a Strong and Diverse Local Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve already mentioned that Portland is a great place for small business owners, with over 45,000 in the metro area.
