> we would love to hear from people when we’re far off

... Oregon... entire state is same modifier?

I can rent a 4 bedroom house 2 blocks away from the university in La Grande for $1200/m.

I can rent a 3 bedroom house 2 blocks away from the university in Portland for $3900/m.

Does not compute.

I agree Portland should probably have its own index.

We are working on our 2019 iteration of the compensation calculator currently, which will create additional metro areas, one of which will be for Portland.

It doesn't speak well that you need to be told which metro areas to add.

The US government had to address a similar issue and came up with a handy list of metro areas:

I find it a little odd that you would be so adamant about your compensation algorithm and not do basic due diligence exploring what others in the space have done in the space.

HN commenters shouldn't need to tell you what metro areas are missing - you should have proactively identified them.
