Medford historic districts Eviction Risk: Elevated

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

It sits 1.4 points above the Jackson County average of 6.1. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,028 evictions over 14 years of observation. At $1,248 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Medford commands.

The worst year on record was 2000, when 10.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

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.
