How renting in Bodfish 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	31.9% (±15.2 points)	34.8% (±15.3 points)	+2.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$844 (±$189)	$974 (±$149)	+15.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$22,438 (±$4,702)	$39,863 (±$6,014)	+77.7%	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.

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