How renting in Oakwood 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	71.6% (±5.0 points)	56.4% (±7.9 points)	−15.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,068 (±$49)	$1,560 (±$143)	+46.1%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$47,250 (±$6,922)	$67,917 (±$12,511)	+43.7%	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.
