Medford Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Jackson County average of 46.7%. At $1,721 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Medford commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10. The voucher gap is 18.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Jackson County average of 6.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 114 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 3.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OR average is 6.1, so this tract runs 1.1 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.
