Bandon, OR Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 2.5 miles north of Bandon, OR
Good news, and an honest one: USGS's data can't distinguish this stretch, 2.5 miles north of Bandon, OR, from a flat trend. Whatever small movement it measured here is statistical noise, not a reliable direction, so none is claimed.
The grain of this number
USGS surveys the coast in transects spaced a few hundred feet apart; this page groups the nearest ones into a single ~3.5-mile reading for the stretch closest to Bandon, OR, rather than showing one arbitrary line. Segment center: 43.15, -124.41. USGS's Pacific Northwest assessment last surveyed this stretch through 2002-2011, computing the rate with its LRR method. Other US regions were surveyed in different years, sometimes decades apart, so this page states its own rather than implying one national vintage.
What backs this reading up
This reading comes from 111 individual transects averaged together, 98% of which measured erosion rather than growth. Uncertainty on this specific number: 1.14 ft/yr either side. The unadjusted figure here, -0.63 ft/yr, would place it 255 of 1211 if ranked directly - but an unreliable rank isn't a useful one, which is exactly why "no significant trend" is the headline instead. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2012-1008. North Redington Beach, FL sits at national rank 1084 for growth (0.84 ft/yr), one reference point among the 1211 scored segments, 2535 miles from here. 2.2 miles away, Bandon, OR is the nearest other measured stretch: also no significant trend.
