How renting in Cochran 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	39.8% (±8.7 points)	42.2% (±6.9 points)	+2.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$615 (±$35)	$766 (±$126)	+24.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$35,000 (±$20,958)	$33,456 (±$7,632)	−4.4%	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.
