How renting in Golden Valley 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	10.6% (±3.4 points)	8.0% (±2.8 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$753 (±$92)	$1,134 (±$60)	+50.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$38,955 (±$4,516)	$42,585 (±$9,859)	+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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
