How renting in Santa Paula 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	45.9% (±3.3 points)	44.1% (±4.1 points)	−1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,277 (±$52)	$1,736 (±$72)	+35.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$60,468 (±$3,933)	$79,294 (±$5,218)	+31.1%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
