How renting in Hawaiian Gardens 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	58.0% (±5.2 points)	56.2% (±6.2 points)	−1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,403 (±$54)	$1,696 (±$171)	+20.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,483 (±$8,670)	$76,341 (±$4,179)	+54.3%	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.
