How renting in Lumber City 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	32.8% (±11.4 points)	43.7% (±18.4 points)	+10.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$517 (±$258)	$700 (±$298)	+35.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$30,438 (±$4,043)	$32,841 (±$4,407)	+7.9%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
