How renting in Branford 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	43.3% (±12.8 points)	50.3% (±16.7 points)	+7.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$674 (±$68)	$901 (±$330)	+33.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$30,769 (±$7,643)	$44,313 (±$12,406)	+44.0%	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.
