How renting in Borrego Springs 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	13.4% (±8.5 points)	28.1% (±10.2 points)	+14.7 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$733 (±$314)	$1,004 (±$357)	+37.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,570 (±$20,280)	$86,078 (±$28,673)	+73.6%	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.
