Lakeside, OR Coastal Erosion Rate

What USGS measures 2.4 miles northwest of Lakeside, OR

No significant trend

Nothing alarming measured 2.4 miles northwest of Lakeside, OR: whatever shift USGS's transects picked up here is too small to call reliably one way or the other, which this site reports as "no significant trend" rather than forcing a direction.

What "Lakeside" means on this page

Lakeside, OR is the nearest named place, 2.4 miles away, to a ~3.5-mile stretch of coast USGS has surveyed - the reading below covers that whole stretch, not a single property in it. Segment center: 43.60, -124.21. 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.

How solid is this number

111 transects feed this segment's number; 78% of them individually measured retreat. USGS's confidence interval here is ±0.96 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.09 ft/yr, would place it 662 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. Rank 1125 nationally for growth belongs to Coronado, CA, 848 miles from this stretch, measured at 1.22 ft/yr. 2.2 miles away, Lakeside, OR is the nearest other measured stretch: also no significant trend.
