How renting in Moreno Valley 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	38.3% (±1.2 points)	36.7% (±1.4 points)	−1.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,494 (±$28)	$2,135 (±$38)	+42.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$66,134 (±$1,885)	$93,222 (±$2,557)	+41.0%	Up after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
