How renting in Mountain Home AFB 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	100.0% (±3.5 points)	99.8% (±0.5 points)	−0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$997 (±$58)	$1,903 (±$75)	+90.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$44,007 (±$3,495)	$74,196 (±$16,240)	+68.6%	Up after inflation

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