Bandon, OR Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 5.8 miles north of Bandon, OR
Good news, and an honest one: USGS's data can't distinguish this stretch, 5.8 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.
What "Bandon" means on this page
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: 43.20, -124.39. The survey behind it runs to 2002-2011, in USGS's Pacific Northwest assessment, using the LRR method. Shoreline surveys aren't repeated every year, so this is the most recent long-term measurement USGS has published for this coast, not a live reading.
Where this fits nationally
This reading comes from 98 individual transects averaged together, 98% of which measured erosion rather than growth. USGS's confidence interval here is ±1.65 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.64 ft/yr, would place it 252 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. For scale: Dana Point, CA, 762 miles away, ranks 1006 of 1211 nationally for growth, 0.44 ft/yr. Bandon, OR, 3.4 miles off, is the adjacent measured stretch, itself no significant trend.
