How renting in Ridgway 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	40.4% (±11.7 points)	27.1% (±9.6 points)	−13.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,120 (±$197)	$1,577 (±$326)	+40.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$53,235 (±$22,933)	$83,750 (±$20,693)	+57.3%	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.
