How renting in Hueytown 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	32.2% (±4.1 points)	17.9% (±4.3 points)	−14.3 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$874 (±$30)	$1,304 (±$94)	+49.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$51,519 (±$5,216)	$62,784 (±$4,323)	+21.9%	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.
