How renting in Cudahy 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	86.4% (±2.4 points)	85.8% (±2.9 points)	−0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,306 (±$37)	$1,711 (±$61)	+31.0%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$46,642 (±$2,797)	$56,615 (±$5,114)	+21.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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