How renting in Brunswick 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	65.4% (±4.7 points)	56.6% (±6.2 points)	−8.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$729 (±$47)	$951 (±$113)	+30.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$28,032 (±$3,680)	$40,288 (±$5,184)	+43.7%	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.
