How renting in Le Grand 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	30.2% (±7.8 points)	38.3% (±9.8 points)	+8.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$904 (±$82)	$866 (±$110)	−4.2%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$48,662 (±$4,402)	$45,938 (±$25,284)	−5.6%	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.
