How renting in Rodney Village 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	59.3% (±11.7 points)	50.6% (±15.9 points)	−8.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$972 (±$80)	$1,338 (±$135)	+37.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$40,000 (±$4,623)	$43,558 (±$6,714)	+8.9%	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.
