South Tabor is named for its proximity to Mount Tabor, an extinct volcano and one of Portland's more popular parks.
South Tabor is largely residential; all of the neighborhood's businesses are situated on the streets that form its boundaries.
Two of Portland's three most dangerous intersections are at the easternmost corners of the neighborhood: SE Powell and 82nd, and SE Division and 82nd.[2]
Franklin High School, Atkinson Elementary, Kellogg Middle School (currently closed), St. Mark's Lutheran Church, and Trinity Fellowship Church are in South Tabor. South Tabor is also home to a gathering place built by the City Repair Project, a local nonprofit organization, which includes a cob pizza oven and community bulletin board. There is also a meditation labyrinth in a private yard, but often open free of charge to the general public.
The eastern portion of the neighborhood includes the Jade District commercial and cultural center.
