How renting in Naperville 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	24.4% (±0.9 points)	25.2% (±1.2 points)	+0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,516 (±$44)	$1,885 (±$39)	+24.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$125,926 (±$3,475)	$155,105 (±$4,387)	+23.2%	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.
