How renting in Nampa 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	35.9% (±2.2 points)	29.8% (±1.8 points)	−6.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$925 (±$27)	$1,420 (±$32)	+53.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$48,846 (±$2,320)	$74,279 (±$2,044)	+52.1%	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.
