How renting in Bald Knob 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	51.6% (±8.1 points)	43.1% (±10.6 points)	−8.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$547 (±$67)	$818 (±$118)	+49.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$30,199 (±$3,527)	$48,355 (±$8,204)	+60.1%	Up 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.
