How renting in Gifford 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	37.4% (±5.9 points)	48.8% (±9.1 points)	+11.4 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$789 (±$222)	$892 (±$237)	+13.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$36,323 (±$4,316)	$33,175 (±$7,135)	−8.7%	Down 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.
