Milwaukie is home to almost 22,000 people, each of whom has a unique identity that contributes to the tapestry of our community. Our community vision, adopted in 2017, describes a future which is entirely equitable, meaning that all people feel welcome, and no one faces disparities because of who they are. 

City Council adopted equity, inclusion, and justice as a goal in August 2020 in response to the national reckoning around race and policing and reaffirmed this commitment in April 2023.
