How renting in Citrus Heights 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	43.2% (±1.5 points)	39.3% (±2.1 points)	−3.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,260 (±$31)	$1,827 (±$35)	+45.0%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$62,276 (±$1,964)	$82,314 (±$4,006)	+32.2%	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.
