How renting in Blue River 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	19.4% (±10.0 points)	24.6% (±12.0 points)	+5.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,050 (±$830)	$2,853 (±$747)	+171.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$112,083 (±$34,958)	$134,250 (±$49,983)	+19.8%	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.
