How renting in West Rancho Dominguez 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	31.3% (±3.7 points)	34.0% (±5.2 points)	+2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,250 (±$120)	$1,695 (±$143)	+35.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$60,155 (±$4,727)	$86,834 (±$10,397)	+44.4%	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.
