How renting in Duluth 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	44.9% (±2.8 points)	43.5% (±3.6 points)	−1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,366 (±$27)	$1,828 (±$41)	+33.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$71,220 (±$3,575)	$95,331 (±$7,111)	+33.9%	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.
