Oregon's Hispanic population more than doubled from 1990-2000, and continues to grow. More than 80 percent of Hispanics in Oregon are of Mexican ancestry.

Most of Oregon's Hispanic population lives in the tri-county Portland metropolitan area (Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties). More Hispanics live in Washington County, which contains the cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro, than in any other Oregon county.
