Consolidated OREGON Only Data, FY 2011 and FY 2010:

To see consolidated Oregon data take a look at 2 page PDF I prepared HERE. 

It shows Proposed FMR's for FY 2011, Final FMR's for FY 2010 and on the second page, $$ change and % change in rents for ALL Oregon counties.

Oregon Observations:

• Portland Metro is big winner with 7.9% increase. (2 BR will now be $905).
• Most other areas look like they get a 3% +increase.
• Marion-Polk biggest loser with 1.6% decline. (2 BR will now be $664).
