How renting in Haines 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	37.2% (±11.9 points)	24.4% (±5.6 points)	−12.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$948 (±$221)	$1,087 (±$162)	+14.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$61,842 (±$34,067)	$86,719 (±$18,123)	+40.2%	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.
