Neahkahnie, OR Coastal Erosion Rate
What USGS measures 5.4 miles north of Neahkahnie, OR
Nothing alarming measured 5.4 miles north of Neahkahnie, 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 this reading actually covers
Neahkahnie, OR is the nearest named place, 5.4 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: 45.81, -123.96. 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 49 separate transects produced this segment's rate, with 78% individually reading as erosion, rather than relying on any single survey line. USGS's confidence interval here is ±1.51 ft/yr. The unadjusted figure here, -0.09 ft/yr, would place it 661 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: Wildwood Crest, NJ, 2510 miles away, ranks 1185 of 1211 nationally for growth, 3.33 ft/yr. 3 miles up the coast, Cannon Beach, OR shows the same lack of a significant trend.
Not this whole stretch, just Neahkahnie itself: the Coastal Change Hazards Portal is USGS's own live version of this data.
