How renting in Roscoe 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	22.6% (±3.1 points)	28.8% (±4.9 points)	+6.2 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,102 (±$80)	$1,437 (±$95)	+30.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$92,138 (±$7,540)	$93,036 (±$13,940)	+1.0%	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.
