How renting in Creola 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	28.2% (±8.8 points)	16.2% (±5.5 points)	−12.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$742 (±$207)	$959 (±$169)	+29.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$45,673 (±$13,671)	$66,607 (±$11,679)	+45.8%	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.
