Default Below Oregon - Diversity??

I am considering purchase of a house below Orgeon Ave. and East of Broad. My questions is this - I am Jewish and wonder, honestly, if there are any other Jewsih people that live there. I also wonder if I will run into any antisemitism.

There's a Jewish community center @ 6th and Porter, and a synagogue (closed for renovations at the moment) at Marshall and Ritner. Can't say for sure if anyone will ask to see your horns tho.

I would be more worried about wearing a Cowboy jersey than a yarmulke.

my husband (who's Jewish) and I bought a house south of Oregon and east of Broad almost two years ago and we haven't encountered any antisemitism...in fact, we've been warmly welcomed into the neighborhood. i don't think you'll have any problems.
