How renting in Point Arena 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	58.0% (±12.7 points)	48.3% (±17.9 points)	−9.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$864 (±$325)	$1,917 (±$954)	+121.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$31,719 (±$12,718)	$108,095 (±$49,381)	+240.8%	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.
