How renting in Peoria 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	25.8% (±1.0 points)	24.0% (±1.3 points)	−1.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,255 (±$34)	$1,843 (±$46)	+46.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$75,323 (±$1,895)	$95,815 (±$2,987)	+27.2%	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.
