How renting in Patagonia 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	34.5% (±11.4 points)	50.2% (±16.3 points)	+15.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$706 (±$193)	$804 (±$220)	+13.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$33,482 (±$6,997)	$39,891 (±$30,850)	+19.1%	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.
