How renting in Gooding 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	38.5% (±10.9 points)	39.3% (±9.6 points)	+0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$597 (±$115)	$861 (±$45)	+44.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$32,062 (±$7,095)	$41,899 (±$14,165)	+30.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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