How renting in Las Animas 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	55.2% (±8.3 points)	39.0% (±8.7 points)	−16.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$666 (±$46)	$1,211 (±$172)	+81.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$23,456 (±$4,999)	$51,875 (±$10,249)	+121.2%	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.
