Economic momentum
How fast Oregon's economy is moving, ranked against the US cities we track.

Steady
Ranks Oregon's residential building-permit and jobs growth against the US cities we cover. The label is relative pace, not a direction, so a market can rank low while some figures still rise. A higher score moves faster, it is not cheaper or better. This is economic activity, not commercial lease rates or vacancy. Not investment or relocation advice.
