The Spring 2022 survey indicated Oregonians continue to move away from urban centers, dramatically impacting availability and affordability of multifamily rentals throughout the state. The new data is in stark contrast to the previous spring apartment report, where vacancies and rents had remained stable from the previous year.
The report's analysis of the Portland Metro rental housing market also indicates new housing production continues to lag behind growing demand, a leading cause of low vacancies and rising rents.
