How renting in Patterson 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	38.8% (±6.8 points)	28.7% (±4.3 points)	−10.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,519 (±$163)	$1,655 (±$250)	+9.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$69,233 (±$6,130)	$93,650 (±$15,253)	+35.3%	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.
