How renting in Red Bud 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	28.6% (±6.6 points)	23.3% (±6.7 points)	−5.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$710 (±$55)	$845 (±$173)	+19.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$59,205 (±$10,725)	$71,850 (±$8,187)	+21.4%	No measurable change after inflation

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