How renting in Wyoming 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	29.8% (±7.9 points)	31.0% (±10.8 points)	+1.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,015 (±$161)	$1,558 (±$186)	+53.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$63,708 (±$6,623)	$69,603 (±$12,957)	+9.3%	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.
