How renting in Hemet 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	41.5% (±1.9 points)	37.7% (±2.5 points)	−3.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,096 (±$37)	$1,575 (±$71)	+43.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$39,726 (±$1,576)	$57,719 (±$3,362)	+45.3%	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.
