How renting in Hope 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	21.2% (±5.5 points)	20.5% (±8.8 points)	−0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$811 (±$33)	$1,156 (±$126)	+42.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$48,155 (±$6,122)	$76,188 (±$11,348)	+58.2%	Up 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.
