When doing research in Portland, keep in mind that the Northwest has a very casual, easy-going attitude. Months of cold, dreary rain leave Oregonians with an astoundingly beautiful landscape, and a very open-minded appreciation of what’s important in life. We live here because it’s beautiful (even when it’s raining) and the people are laid-back and friendly. We love our coffee, our beer and our indie disposition. We’re very tolerant, very caring and we RECYCLE EVERYTHING. We strongly support the arts and we do spend time thinking about what’s best for the salmon. We have legalized both physician assisted-suicide and medicinal marijuana. You will probably see people wearing socks with sandals. There is no dress code in Oregon. Why are we telling you this? Two reasons: Because we want to help you get to know Oregonians, and because we certainly don’t want you to feel out of place in our house. Unless you are doing focus groups with investment bankers or stock brokers, leave the suit and tie at home! You will find that even white-collar respondents usually wear fleece in the winter and Birkenstocks in the summer. Business casual is most common, but you can also wear jeans and no one will think you out-of place. Portland is the 23rd largest city in America. The Portland market is comprised of cities in 4 counties, including Vancouver, Washington, which is generally considered to be part of the Portland market. The combined total population in these counties, Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Clark, is recently estimated by the US Census Bureau ( www.census.gov) in 2007 to be nearly 2 million. Multnomah County is geographically the smallest county in the country with the largest population. Median income for the Portland market is $45,500. Ethnicity breaks down to 74.1% Caucasian, 12.4% African American, .8% American Indian, 4.3% Asian, 14.7% Hispanic/Latino and 6.3% some other race. Big industries in Portland are technology-related, PC equipment and electronics, timber, paper products, farming, and mining. Diverse in people, industry, attitudes and offerings, Portland (and Oregon) is a wonderful place to conduct market research. Here are some other reasons you should choose Portland as your test market:
