How renting in Rio Dell 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	40.4% (±9.6 points)	43.2% (±12.1 points)	+2.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$902 (±$246)	$1,042 (±$127)	+15.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$41,071 (±$13,335)	$42,753 (±$14,364)	+4.1%	No measurable change after inflation

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