Shows the location of the Jade District relative to the streets bordering it.

The Jade District is an Asian-dominated commercial area and cultural hub radiating outward from Southeast 82nd Avenue and Division Street, in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[1][2][3][4] It is roughly between Division Street and Powell Boulevard to the north and south, and between SE 75th Avenue and I-205 to the east and west.[5] Part of the Montavilla, Powellhurst-Gilbert, and South Tabor neighborhoods,[6] the district is one of the most diverse census tracts in the state of Oregon.[7]

The Jade District was recognized as a Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative in 2013.[8] It is at risk of rapid gentrification. The Jade International Night Market, an annual event held on the last two Saturdays in August, "provides a space to celebrate and recognize the diversity and culture of the communities who live and work in the Jade District and sheds light on the issues impacting a neighborhood in transition."[9]

At the corner of 82nd Avenue and Division Street, the site of a former furniture store, Metro is constructing a community center and affordable housing building in partnership with Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) and nonprofit developer ROSE Community Development.[10] Prior to demolition of the furniture store, the building had been home to the Jade/APANO Multicultural Space.[11]

Improvements are being made to the area as part of the Jade and Montavilla Connected Centers project, including street, sidewalk, and lighting improvements.[12][13]
