What it means
Statutory residency tests apply on top of domicile. You can be domiciled elsewhere and still be taxed as a resident if you meet the test.
Keep the record
Whatever the rule, the person claiming not to be a resident usually has to prove it. Log every day, including travel days, and keep the receipts, boarding passes and photos that back it up. What auditors ask for.

Questions
How many days can I spend in Oregon without becoming a resident?
If you keep a permanent place of abode in Oregon and spend more than 200 days there, you're a resident. Days alone aren't the whole story: domicile is a separate test.
Does a partial day in Oregon count?
Most states with a day test count any part of a day in the state. Check the state's guidance for its exceptions.
