Lakeside, OR Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 2.8 miles southwest of Lakeside, OR
The coast 2.8 miles southwest of Lakeside, OR shows no statistically significant trend either way. USGS's transects measured a rate here, but it's smaller than the survey's own margin of error for this stretch, so calling it "eroding" or "growing" would overstate what the data actually shows.
What this reading actually covers
Nothing here is parcel-level. USGS's raw transects run every few hundred feet along the shore; this page averages the ones nearest Lakeside, OR into one ~3.5-mile reading rather than picking a single arbitrary line to represent the area. Centered near 43.57°N, 124.22°W. 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
Averaging 21 separate transects produced this segment's rate, with 81% individually reading as erosion, rather than relying on any single survey line. USGS's confidence interval here is ±1.27 ft/yr. Taken at face value, this segment's raw -0.12 ft/yr reading would land it 613 of 1211 nationally - a number worth ignoring, since it's statistical noise rather than a real trend. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2012-1008. For scale: Seadrift, TX, 1860 miles away, ranks 1150 of 1211 nationally for growth, 1.79 ft/yr. Saunders Lake, OR, 1.8 miles off, is the adjacent measured stretch, itself no significant trend.
Not this whole stretch, just Lakeside itself: the Coastal Change Hazards Portal is USGS's own live version of this data.
