How our editorial scores work
One point for each documented signal: a published local-guide recommendation, decorations described in a guide or public community account, reported Halloween participation, a second independent publisher’s recommendation, and an organizer-listed 2026 Halloween or fall event. Reddit comments are anecdotal and do not count as independent publisher endorsements. Only reviewed neighborhoods receive a score; unknown signals earn no point. This measures the evidence behind a shortlist, not candy quality, safety or every block’s experience. Publisher recommendations may be subjective and sources from 2016–2025 describe past seasons. Visitor ratings below are separate.
Map sources & scope
City of Portland GIS provides the 18 association outlines. They are not designated trick-or-treat routes. New metro dots use sourced representative city/community or public-place coordinates; several guides can share a city pin. Exact suburban neighborhood boundaries have not been mapped here. Map pins do not identify participating homes. Source links appear in each selected map summary.
Reviewed October 3, 2026. Older sources describe past seasons. This is our evidence-based editorial score, not a visitor average or a guarantee.
