How renting in El Dorado Hills 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	13.3% (±1.5 points)	12.5% (±1.8 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,964 (±$127)	$2,552 (±$239)	+29.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$137,726 (±$7,260)	$165,349 (±$12,019)	+20.1%	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.
