The Pinehills, MA Coastal Erosion Rate
Shoreline change 3.9 miles southeast of The Pinehills, MA
The coast 3.9 miles southeast of The Pinehills, MA 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.
The grain of this number
Nothing here is parcel-level. USGS's raw transects run every few hundred feet along the shore; this page averages the ones nearest The Pinehills, MA into one ~3.5-mile reading rather than picking a single arbitrary line to represent the area. Centered near 41.86°N, 70.54°W. The survey behind it runs to 2007-2009, in USGS's New England / Mid-Atlantic 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 97 individual transects averaged together, 71% of which measured erosion rather than growth. USGS's confidence interval here is ±0.14 ft/yr. Taken at face value, this segment's raw -0.13 ft/yr reading would land it 593 of 1211 nationally - a number worth ignoring, since it's statistical noise rather than a real trend. Source: USGS Open-File Report 2010-1119. Rank 1118 nationally for growth belongs to Marina del Rey, CA, 2633 miles from this stretch, measured at 1.07 ft/yr. The Pinehills, MA, 3.2 miles off, is the adjacent measured stretch, itself no significant trend.
