How renting in Boswell 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	28.3% (±8.3 points)	26.6% (±9.2 points)	−1.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$708 (±$108)	$735 (±$268)	+3.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$40,221 (±$5,623)	$56,875 (±$15,137)	+41.4%	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.
