How renting in Tuskegee 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	52.0% (±4.3 points)	59.1% (±4.5 points)	+7.1 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$608 (±$43)	$757 (±$78)	+24.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$28,016 (±$4,815)	$38,000 (±$6,995)	+35.6%	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.
