How renting in Moody 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	19.0% (±4.4 points)	25.9% (±5.2 points)	+6.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$850 (±$110)	$1,553 (±$407)	+82.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$63,607 (±$3,385)	$86,627 (±$10,305)	+36.2%	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.
