How renting in Stevenson 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	38.8% (±8.1 points)	42.7% (±12.8 points)	+3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$368 (±$85)	$917 (±$151)	+149.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$35,066 (±$9,297)	$53,958 (±$15,942)	+53.9%	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.
