Demand anchors: healthcare/education employment and the Portland commute
Vancouver's housing demand draws on both its own real, healthcare/education-anchored employer base (PeaceHealth, Vancouver Clinic, Vancouver and Evergreen Public Schools) and the broader Oregon-to-Washington migration corridor -- buyers relocating specifically to continue a Portland-based commute while gaining Washington residency.
