Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Medford
70% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Jackson County average of 46.7%. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.6/10.
At $1,659 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Medford commands. On the high side, state political climate reads 7.2/10.
The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 12% 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. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Jackson County average of 6.1 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $107,031.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
