How renting in Marina 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	57.3% (±2.9 points)	57.1% (±3.1 points)	−0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,402 (±$62)	$2,101 (±$117)	+49.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$64,258 (±$5,795)	$95,955 (±$9,890)	+49.3%	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.
