How renting in Tracy 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	37.2% (±2.0 points)	35.0% (±2.5 points)	−2.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,774 (±$59)	$2,478 (±$87)	+39.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$92,046 (±$2,858)	$121,119 (±$5,519)	+31.6%	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.
