This Years List of Oregon Cities>10K Population, With Severe Cost Burdens>25%: Total Number the Same But Some Dropped, Some Added.

My prior post from February 2018 HERE identified the 27 Oregon cities with population greater than 10,000 where 25% or more of renters had a severe cost burden of 25% or more. 

ACS data (Table B 25070) published in December 2018 for years 2013-2017 changed the list of cities, but the total of 27 cities remains. 

• Four cities previously included no longer have severe rent burdens of 25% or more: Beaverton, Bend, LaGrande, and Milwaukee. 
• Two cities now have population slightly larger than 10,000 and severe rent burdens of 25% or more: Cottage Grove and Prineville.
• Coos Bay and Tualatin now have severe rent burdens of 25% or more. 
• The statewide severe cost burden rate was 26.9%, down from 27.4%. 

A table I prepared showing the 27 cities with population greater than 10,000 [from PSU preliminary data] and severe rent cost burdens of 25% or more (and the 4 cities removed this year) is pasted below.
