How home values in Desert Hills have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$167,800 (±$46,655)	$281,600 (±$66,639)	+67.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,167 (±$430)	$2,109 (±$424)	+80.7%	Up after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$833 (±$309)	$1,161 (±$686)	+39.4%	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.
