How renting in Jerome 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	42.6% (±4.5 points)	26.8% (±4.8 points)	−15.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$779 (±$25)	$947 (±$93)	+21.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$45,148 (±$7,077)	$66,894 (±$7,280)	+48.2%	Up 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.
