How renting in Milan 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	18.2% (±9.9 points)	34.2% (±16.4 points)	+16.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$504 (±$351)	$844 (±$34)	+67.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$32,083 (±$7,941)	$29,583 (±$23,974)	−7.8%	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.
