With approximately 788,000 residents, it is a purple district (Cook PVI R+5) that voted for Trump three times but has been represented by Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez since her 2022 upset victory over MAGA Republican Joe Kent. The district has a median household income of $90,428 — well above the national median — and a poverty rate of 9.33%. The population is 75% White (Non-Hispanic) and 11.7% Hispanic, with only 8.88% foreign-born residents and a 96% citizenship rate. The economy is anchored by timber and wood products, agriculture (dairy, berries, nursery stock), manufacturing, healthcare (PeaceHealth, Kaiser), and a growing port/logistics sector in Clark County (Vancouver). It is car-dependent: 71.2% drive alone to work, only 0.8% use public transit. The district blends rural logging communities, small agricultural towns, and the suburban Vancouver area — which functions as part of the Portland, Oregon metro economy. The median home value is $474,300 and the homeownership rate is 69.2%.",
