EOO: 1,748,552.987 km ². AOO: 664 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least Concern.

Eugenia oerstediana is widely distributed in the American continent, from Mexico to Peru, including the Antilles ( WCSP 2020). The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and potentially the area of occupancy (AOO) based on the habitat available exceed the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B. The biome of occurrence of the species is mainly the Humid Tropical Forest from 0 to 1,500 m elev. The species has a wide distribution throughout the American continent, the Humid and Sub-humid Tropical Forests are the ecosystems where it develops and reproduces, with 226 collections from Mexico to Peru. Therefore, according to the criteria of IUCN (2012), Eugenia oerstediana is classified as Least Concern (LC).
