North Tabor

Northeast Portland, about 3.69 miles from downtown, in Multnomah County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

North Tabor's homes have a median year built of 1931, older than 65% of Portland neighborhoods, and I found an average size of 1,450 sq ft. In my street data, intersections run 253 per square mile, more than 80% of Portland neighborhoods, and sidewalk coverage is an estimated 78.6%. I also counted 83 transit stops within a quarter mile and found Rosemont Bluff Natural Area inside the boundary. Lots average 5,111 sq ft, smaller than 65% of Portland neighborhoods.
