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

Hayhurst, in Southwest Portland, has a tree canopy of 41.4%, more than 75% of Portland neighborhoods, and that is the figure I liked most in my notes. Average lots run 9,744 sq ft, larger than 75% of Portland neighborhoods, and I counted 140 transit stops within a quarter mile, more than 80%. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 12.3%, lower than 85%. Pendleton Park is one of the parks I found inside.
