How home values in Cerro Gordo have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$92,100 (±$6,362)	$109,200 (±$7,839)	+18.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$954 (±$87)	$1,197 (±$83)	+25.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$1,886 (±$183)	$2,183 (±$280)	+15.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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

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