What the Oregon rent trend shows
This page follows market rents in Oregon from 2015 through mid-2026 using the same Zillow ZORI vintage for every city in the table. State figures below are simple averages of the tracked cities — useful for comparing places inside Oregon and stacking the state against the published U.S. typical rent ($1,962/month in June 2026, up from $1,357 in January 2019 on our national series).
Since 2023, the tracked-city average in Oregon has risen from about $1,761 to $1,817 (+3.2%). That is the post-spike path — not a full reset to mid-2010s rents. The latest year step (2025 → 2026) is +3.2% ($1,761 → $1,817).
Within the state, long-run winners and losers split by city. The largest percentage increase from the earliest reading to 2026 is Springfield (+111.1%, $795 → $1,678). 7 of 76 tracked cities are higher than their 2015 (or earliest) level.
