Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cottage Grove
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Cottage Grove eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Lane County average of 6.1 and in line with the Oregon statewide average of 6.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.70x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 182 eviction filings here over 16 tracked years, with about 2.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.9% of renter households in 2001.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
