How renting in Hesperia 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	38.6% (±2.0 points)	32.8% (±2.6 points)	−5.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,199 (±$34)	$1,590 (±$92)	+32.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$53,561 (±$2,130)	$72,160 (±$4,601)	+34.7%	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.
