How renting in Marvell 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	46.9% (±10.3 points)	53.9% (±15.3 points)	+7.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$612 (±$152)	$641 (±$182)	+4.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$30,556 (±$8,217)	$51,875 (±$26,545)	+69.8%	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.
