How renting in Orchard City 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	24.8% (±8.2 points)	18.4% (±8.2 points)	−6.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$975 (±$87)	$1,174 (±$630)	+20.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,781 (±$13,523)	$55,960 (±$9,415)	+10.2%	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.
