How renting in Gonzalez 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	16.0% (±3.6 points)	17.9% (±5.5 points)	+1.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,082 (±$59)	$1,250 (±$339)	+15.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$77,492 (±$5,924)	$82,062 (±$10,560)	+5.9%	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.
