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.

Since 2023, the tracked-city average in Oregon has risen from about $1,753 to $1,809 (+3.2%). That is the post-spike path — not a full reset to mid-2010s rents. The latest year step (2025 → 2026) is +2.9% ($1,758 → $1,809).
