How renting in Valley Grande 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	14.7% (±5.9 points)	9.8% (±4.6 points)	−4.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$681 (±$115)	$761 (±$134)	+11.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$63,325 (±$8,246)	$58,929 (±$16,158)	−6.9%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
