How renting in Grimes 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	20.7% (±12.1 points)	30.4% (±11.4 points)	+9.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$933 (±$85)	$872 (±$170)	−6.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$40,595 (±$6,937)	$33,958 (±$9,528)	−16.3%	Down 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.
