Chimney care in the 503 area
Around Portland, Salem and Beaverton, months of steady rain are the biggest threat to a chimney. Moss and moisture break down crowns and mortar, and water finds its way in at the flashing. Wood that is not fully seasoned in damp weather also builds creosote faster, so annual sweeps matter for regular burners.
The Census Bureau counts about 1,036,300 homes and apartments in the 503 territory. 50.5% were built before 1980 and 12.6% before 1940, close to the Oregon figure of 50.6% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 60.5% of homes are single-family detached houses.
48.5% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 44.9% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 2.6% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 4C (mixed, marine).
