How renting in Vacaville 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	38.0% (±1.4 points)	32.5% (±1.9 points)	−5.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,641 (±$52)	$2,299 (±$74)	+40.1%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$87,823 (±$3,100)	$111,126 (±$3,405)	+26.5%	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.
