How renting in Pana 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	26.1% (±4.8 points)	35.0% (±6.8 points)	+8.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$638 (±$75)	$684 (±$70)	+7.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,028 (±$7,317)	$46,168 (±$5,022)	−7.7%	Down 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.
