How renting in Rocklin 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	32.9% (±1.7 points)	31.7% (±1.9 points)	−1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$98,566 (±$3,422)	$124,168 (±$4,905)	+26.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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