If Wesen are more than 5% of the population, then the fantasy of the Wesen being special start to tarnish. There are abot 2.4 Million people in the Greater Portland Area. If the Wesen Population is 10% of the total, that's 240,000 alone! Nothing really special about that.

Just as a point of reference, the Jewish population of Oregon is 1%, or extrapolating, there are about 24,000 jews in Portland (not using any group as anything other than a point of reference) _____________________________________________________________________

Four things: 1. I believe in season 2 Hank asked the captain how many crimes were wesen related. The captain said "most of them". Being a "police" show it would tend to show more. 2. I thought at some point it was said that wesen come to Portland to be near other wesen. That would make the % of the population higher. 3. Hank and Nick investigate outside the city of Portland. They have worked several times with the Sheriff's office--allowing a greater population. 4. If the wesen population was 1% of Portland (24,000) and 10% were on criminals that would be 2400. I don't know if we have seen 2400 wesen on the show yet. Even if we have the writers probably would not keep showing the same ones. Portland has a population of about 620,000. The great Metro area of Portland is about 2.4 million, where they would get and give help such as the Sheriff's office.

You won't see that many Wesen but the greater the population of Wesen, the better the chace for a real screw up, especially with cameras everywhere
