Medford historic districts Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. Against the Jackson County average of 6.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, state political climate reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 495 eviction filings across 14 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.6% of renter households. At $1,265 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Medford commands. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.3 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.
