How renting in Plummer 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	31.1% (±6.8 points)	43.5% (±6.8 points)	+12.4 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$797 (±$58)	$932 (±$57)	+16.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,042 (±$6,178)	$54,306 (±$8,546)	+17.9%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
