How renting in Odell 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	27.6% (±8.4 points)	13.4% (±6.5 points)	−14.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$909 (±$121)	$943 (±$46)	+3.7%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$52,083 (±$12,366)	$83,558 (±$10,314)	+60.4%	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.
