This study reports the full accounting of the number of eviction cases filed in Oregon in 2024.  Each year, Evicted in Oregon (EiO) revises the total count of eviction cases in the state after collecting additional data to include filings in both circuit courts and justice courts. Only records for circuit courts are readily available to the public. The EiO team then collects data from circuit  courts and the 14 county-based justice courts that process evictions to report on all evictions  in Oregon, regardless of filing court type. The resulting data are that in 2024, there were 30,507 eviction cases filed in Oregon.

Residential eviction cases can be filed in two court types in Oregon, circuit courts and justice courts. Up until now, statewide research on evictions has only included filings in circuit courts, because those court records are accessible through a centralized online database run by the judicial department. Eviction cases can be filed in fourteen justice courts in Oregon. Because each justice court maintains their court’s records onsite, these eviction cases have previously been invisible to researchers and policymakers. This study reports the first-ever full accounting of the number of eviction cases filed in Oregon, including cases filed in both court systems.
