How rent in Caruthers has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$1,024 (±$147)	$1,186 (±$278)	+15.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	20.7% (±10.5 points)	47.8% (±18.7 points)	+27.1 percentage points	Measurable increase
Rental vacancy rate	0.0% (±20.2 points)	0.0% (±15.8 points)	0.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
