How renting in Woodbury Center 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	47.2% (±11.3 points)	49.9% (±14.9 points)	+2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,125 (±$145)	$1,778 (±$373)	+58.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$66,774 (±$6,351)	$98,194 (±$67,391)	+47.1%	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.
