WSJ story HERE includes interactive graphics for 534 areas of the country, using 2009 ACS data on owner cost burdens, health insurance coverage, and "population not working".
Using data I extracted from the WSJ story below is a table with my calculation of the ratings and rankings for Oregon areas
NOTES
- GRANTS PASS has the highest Oregon risk.
- Corvallis has the lowest Oregon risk.
- The population not working is very high for some areas, and IF it includes retirees, the housing stress ratings/rankings could be somewhat distorted.
