How renting in Town Creek 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	42.9% (±10.8 points)	37.1% (±11.5 points)	−5.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$521 (±$298)	$627 (±$103)	+20.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$39,559 (±$12,333)	$43,229 (±$10,424)	+9.3%	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.
