Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Portland influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the Portland market. Full marks once 30% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the United States median for a creator’s own size: around 0.8% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is local, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The American Instagram market behind this ranking

The American Instagram study covers 929,228 accounts with at least 10K followers. The 25 selected profiles are compared with that study below.

Read the United States Creator Economy Report - the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with the American Instagram market

Pink = the 25 Portland influencers above.

Grey = every American Instagram account we measure with at least 10,000 followers, all 929,228 of them.

Each bar is the share above the threshold, so a longer pink bar means the influencers above reach it more often than the market does.

Engagement rate of 5% or better

selected: 40%
market: 13%

Averages 100K+ Reel views per post

selected: 12%
market: 4.8%

Source: the Click Analytic American creator market study of 929,228 Instagram accounts, measured 2026-09-15. The market side is read from that study; the pink side is computed from the cards above.

Why Michael is the #1 Portland creator

The top of this list is tight: 8 creators grade A+, so the component bars on each card are what separate the first calls.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These cover why the audience figure is a Portland figure, how large the accounts run, and what the score does and does not measure.

01Why is the audience percentage on each card a Portland percentage?

Because both sides of the audience match, creator and follower location, were set to Portland rather than the United States as a whole. A metro does not earn the same bar a whole country does, so this programme measures any subnational share against 30% instead of a national figure, and this selection's median sits at 34%, a few points clear of it.

02How large are the accounts on this list?

Between 10,055 and 178,389 followers. Position eighth belongs to the smallest account and fourteenth to the largest, proof that the index weighs reach and audience quality well ahead of raw follower count once an account is past the floor.

03What can the score not tell me?

Nothing here answers pricing, current availability, or whether an account's latest posts match a specific brief. What the score does hold is four numbers taken on a single day, benchmarked only against the other 24 cards on this page: audience fit, engagement, Reel reach and real-follower share. Reach out directly to settle the rest.

04Why would a Portland influencer screen return university teams, a fire department and a soapbox derby, and where did they go?

A location tag on the platform does not distinguish a person from an organisation, so a search built on that tag alone pulls in both. Two university sports accounts, a nightclub, a fire department, an ice cream shop and an adult soapbox derby event all carried the Portland location tag and read as creators to the platform, and all were pulled from the page, because none of them is a bookable individual.

05Why were three accounts removed as journalists?

Working reporters were removed on principle, not on merit: a listing meant for brand partnerships is the wrong place for somebody whose job is to cover the news, however good their numbers look. That took out a courtside reporter and a beat writer, both covering the Trail Blazers, and a news anchor with an Emmy to her name.

06What else came off the list, and why?

A bio that puts its subject somewhere other than Portland outweighs whatever the platform's location tag claims, and five accounts fell that way. One more came off for building its identity around a named medical condition, one for a bio that amounted to an album release rather than a stated craft, and one for explicit profanity aimed at named public figures. The largest single group, though, at eighteen accounts, simply had no trade in the bio at all to hang a sentence on.
