How renting in Pueblo 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	43.4% (±1.5 points)	38.6% (±1.6 points)	−4.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$799 (±$21)	$1,082 (±$29)	+35.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$40,450 (±$1,619)	$56,664 (±$2,076)	+40.1%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
