How renting in Port Hueneme 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	51.0% (±3.8 points)	51.7% (±5.4 points)	+0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,640 (±$78)	$2,228 (±$91)	+35.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$64,126 (±$6,062)	$92,660 (±$9,149)	+44.5%	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.
