How renting in Orleans 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	41.7% (±7.3 points)	40.4% (±8.0 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$608 (±$26)	$850 (±$89)	+39.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$41,771 (±$10,193)	$65,330 (±$11,444)	+56.4%	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.
