How renting in Auburn 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	20.9% (±3.2 points)	22.3% (±4.9 points)	+1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$864 (±$176)	$1,326 (±$101)	+53.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$56,941 (±$4,796)	$77,034 (±$6,510)	+35.3%	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.
