How renting in Windsor 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	23.6% (±2.7 points)	24.4% (±3.7 points)	+0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,770 (±$117)	$2,433 (±$670)	+37.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$106,899 (±$7,579)	$133,979 (±$15,718)	+25.3%	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.
