How renting in Lakeside 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	25.9% (±3.0 points)	31.1% (±4.0 points)	+5.2 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,051 (±$94)	$1,479 (±$90)	+40.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$63,605 (±$2,030)	$81,684 (±$7,253)	+28.4%	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.
