Northeast Portland is one of the six major divisions ofPortland, Oregon.
Northeast Portland contains a diverse collection of neighborhoods. For example, whileIrvington and theAlameda Ridge feature some of the oldest and most expensive homes in Portland, nearbyKing is a more working-class neighborhood. Because it is so large, Northeast Portland can essentially be divided ethnically, culturally, and geographically into inner and outer sections. The inner Northeast neighborhoods that surround Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. were once predominantly African-American, resembling typical urban inner-city environments found in most major U.S. cities. However, the demographics are now changing due to the process ofgentrification. In 2010, the King neighborhood was 25.9% Black or African-American, a 41.3% decrease since 2000.[1] Inner Northeast includes several shopping areas, such as theLloyd District,Alberta Arts District (Portland, Oregon) andHollywood, and part of the affluentIrvington,Alameda,Grant Park, Sullivan's Gulch andLaurelhurst neighborhoods and nearby developments. The city plan targets Lloyd District as another mixed-use area, with high-density residential development.[citation needed]
At the base of Northeast where its border meets Southeast, an area near the Burnside Bridge has been redeveloped into a bustling nightlife and entertainment district. By 2006, the area was established enough to get its own nickname: LoBU, in reference to Lower (numerically) Burnside.[2]
