How renting in Broomfield 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	34.8% (±1.4 points)	37.3% (±1.5 points)	+2.5 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,679 (±$26)	$2,126 (±$39)	+26.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$96,416 (±$2,241)	$123,874 (±$3,714)	+28.5%	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.
