As of the 2020 census, Durham had a population of 1,944, with 850 households, and its ZIP code is 97224.

Durham was named for Albert Alonzo Durham, founder of the nearby city of Lake Oswego, who operated a sawmill and a flour mill on Fanno Creek from 1866 until his death in 1898.

The site, along the Boones Ferry Road to Portland, was originally known as Durhams Mills, and in 1908 the Oregon Electric Railway established a stop called Durham at the location.

Residents voted for incorporation in 1966 to protect the location from industrialization of its residential areas, and today the community is primarily residential.

Fanno Creek flows through the city, part of the western boundary is the Tualatin River, and Durham City Park sits on the western edge of Durham.

The main road through Durham is Upper Boones Ferry Road, with Interstate 5 approximately half a mile east of the city.

Children in Durham attend the schools of the Tigard-Tualatin School District.
