How renting in Crescent City 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	63.3% (±9.2 points)	67.7% (±7.8 points)	+4.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$841 (±$63)	$1,192 (±$81)	+41.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$32,137 (±$2,270)	$35,540 (±$12,890)	+10.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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