How renting in Hermosa Beach 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	52.6% (±2.7 points)	49.4% (±3.8 points)	−3.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$2,181 (±$96)	$2,887 (±$196)	+32.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$136,702 (±$13,247)	$166,442 (±$23,214)	+21.8%	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.
