The fact counts Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability beneficiaries in current-payment status. Benefit administration concerns a component of that population; SSI, Medicare, and state pensions are separate programs. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Oregon evidence context: People receiving Social Security benefits. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Oregon’s median rent.

Foreign-born residents include naturalized citizens and lawfully and unlawfully present noncitizens. A provision about a particular immigration status concerns only a subset of that population; it does not change a person’s birthplace. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Oregon evidence context: Residents who are foreign-born. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon: ADMISSIBILITY OF EVIDENCE IN CIVIL CASES SECTION 1. Section 2 of this 2026 Act is added to and made a part of ORS chapter 40. SECTION 2. (1) Except as otherwise allowed in this section, evidence of a party’s or a witness’s immigration status is not admissible in a civil proceeding unless the party’s or witness’s immigration status is an essential fact to prove an element of a party’s cause of action or essential to establish a party’s claim for relief. (2) If a party is awarded damages for future wage loss at trial and is subject to a final order of removal in immigration proceedings, the final order of removal may be submitted to the court through a post-trial motion to be used solely for the purpose of calculating damages. (3) If a party was awarded reinstatement to a position at trial, the party’s federal work authorization information may be submitted to the court through a post-trial motion. (4)(a) If a party intends to offer evidence under subsections (1) to (3) of this section, the party shall: (A) Make a written motion specifically describing the evidence and stating the purpose for which it is to be offered; and (B) State in the caption of the motion that the motion and attachments are confidential and file the motion confidentially.

Wages and cash benefits can be components of household money income. Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Oregon evidence context: Median household income. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Hydroelectric share is hydroelectric electricity-industry net generation divided by total in-state generation covered by EIA Table 5. The denominator excludes estimated small-scale generation outside that table. Hydroelectric plants or other in-state generation resources concern this mix; procurement targets and authorizations are distinct from an operating plant or measured output. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
