Portland is the strip club capital of the US?

No data in the "Nanny Nation" opinion blog by Timothy Egan, which makes me suspicious of the following paragraph:
In Portland, Ore., which has somehow escaped excess civic nosiness, strip clubs proliferate in family-friendly neighborhoods, as commonplace as a burger hut. What’s more, you can drink and gamble in the clubs. The city is said to have more strip clubs per capita than any other in the country — including Las Vegas — in part because of Oregon’s liberal free speech provisions in the state constitution.And yet, the city, has low crime, uber-fit citizens, and it’s clean.

On the other hand, if this is true, well, I would never have guessed this attribute of Portland's ... Something new and strange everyday!
