registered sex offenders live in Oregon — that's 1 in every 1,718 residents, or 5.8 per 10,000, 76% below the national average.
Registered sex offender counts for the 12 largest cities in Oregon, with each city's rate per 10,000 residents. Raw counts track population — the per-capita column is the fair comparison, and the spread is dramatic: Salem's rate is 5× Gresham's. Click a city for its full breakdown, or a column header to sort.

Every Oregon city we track has its own page with neighborhood-level numbers, risk levels, and recent registrations:
Statewide numbers only tell you so much — what matters is who lives near your home, your kids' school, or the places your family spends time. The free Predator Map app searches any U.S. address and shows every registered offender around it on an interactive map, with photos, offense details, and registered addresses from official government registries. You can also search the official Oregon State Police Sex Offender Registry directly.
Three notification levels. Oregon classifies registrants as Level 1 (low), Level 2 (moderate), or Level 3 (high) using a risk assessment. Only Level 3 offenders (and certain non-compliant registrants) appear on the public website — Oregon's public search shows a small slice of its registry, one of the narrowest disclosure policies in the country.
No statewide residency restriction. Oregon has no distance statute for registrants in general; supervised offenders face case-by-case conditions set by parole and probation.
Registration & verification. Registrants must keep their address, employment, and schooling current with the registry, and verify in person on a recurring schedule — more frequently for higher-risk or higher-tier registrants. Failure to register or verify is itself a crime and commonly appears as a listed offense on registry records.
Current risk-level breakdown in Oregon:
As of July 2026, there are 2,467 registered sex offenders in Oregon — about 5.8 for every 10,000 residents, 76% below the national average. Counts change as offenders register, move, or are removed from the registry.
Portland has the most registered sex offenders in Oregon with 473. Raw counts track population, so the fairer comparison is per capita: adjusted for population, Salem has the highest rate among major cities at 12.2 per 10,000 residents, while Gresham has the lowest at 2.4.

Public registry websites only show what the state chooses to publish. Oregon only publishes Level 3 (highest-risk) offenders and certain non-compliant registrants — the public site shows a small fraction of the full registry. Statistics on this page are compiled from aggregated official registry records, so they can differ from — and often exceed — what a manual search of the public site returns.
No statewide residency restriction. Oregon has no distance statute for registrants in general; supervised offenders face case-by-case conditions set by parole and probation. Address-level monitoring matters more than assumptions about "safe" neighborhoods.
Oregon assigns Level 1 (low risk), Level 2 (moderate), and Level 3 (high) using a validated risk tool. Only Level 3 offenders appear on the public website; lower levels are known to law enforcement. There are currently 86 registrants at the highest classification in Oregon.

Methodology: Statistics are compiled from aggregated official state registry records and refreshed monthly. City figures count the city listed on each registry record. Per-capita rates use 2020 U.S. Census populations. Aggregated counts can exceed what public registry websites display because some classification levels are excluded from public searches. Figures are estimates and change daily as registries update — always verify individual records with the official state registry.
