How renting in Echols County 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	32.2% (±8.0 points)	24.1% (±8.4 points)	−8.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$669 (±$27)	$1,017 (±$227)	+52.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$39,494 (±$7,406)	$59,489 (±$12,940)	+50.6%	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.
