How renting in Dove Creek 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	13.6% (±6.7 points)	54.5% (±19.6 points)	+40.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median household income	$51,591 (±$7,476)	$62,831 (±$45,129)	+21.8%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
