How renting in Bay Minette has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	44.3% (±6.9 points)	39.5% (±7.8 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$583 (±$78)	$782 (±$45)	+34.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,971 (±$10,042)	$44,523 (±$7,403)	+14.2%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
