Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Medford

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Against the Jackson County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10.

Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
