How renting in Stockton 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	22.8% (±6.5 points)	25.5% (±6.9 points)	+2.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$588 (±$98)	$791 (±$115)	+34.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$43,750 (±$6,334)	$46,934 (±$9,356)	+7.3%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
