How renting in Hanford 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	43.0% (±2.4 points)	37.9% (±2.8 points)	−5.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$992 (±$56)	$1,309 (±$101)	+32.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$62,413 (±$2,785)	$76,461 (±$5,174)	+22.5%	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.
