How does Coquille compare to other US cities?

Here's how Coquille stacks up against the full field of US cities (population 1,000+), computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 18% higher than other cities
Home value 56% pricier than other cities
Median rent 42% pricier than other cities
Safety 57% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Oregon alone, Coquille ranks #21 of 85 Oregon cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Coquille against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Oregon only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Oregon-relative analysis

Poverty Rate places Coquille toward the top of Oregon's cities

Among the 395 Oregon cities PlainCities tracks with reported poverty rate data, Coquille ranks #70 - the 82nd percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Coquille only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
