When people mention Portland in the media are they talking about Oregon or Maine?
I'm sure there's many cities called Portland, but those are the 2 largest I can think of.

Right now it's Oregon where the protests are going on. Oregon's Portland is bigger and more famous than Maine's Portland.

There are more than 23 cities in the U.S. named Portland.
And, it isn't just right now. Since 1890, Portland, Oregon, has been the larger and more important financial, industrial, creative, and technological center than Portland, Maine.
Portland, Oregon, has about 650,000 residents as of 2020;
Portland, Maine, has about 66,000 residents as of 2020.
The metropolitan areas of each are 2.5 million (Oregon) and 0.55 million (Maine).
The U.S. metro areas ranked nationally are #26 (Oregon) and greater than #317 (probably around #450, Maine)
