How renting in Temple City 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	40.7% (±2.9 points)	37.1% (±3.5 points)	−3.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,636 (±$84)	$2,135 (±$137)	+30.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$78,516 (±$7,687)	$104,425 (±$6,100)	+33.0%	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.
