How renting in Gilmore City 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	30.1% (±9.0 points)	25.6% (±10.1 points)	−4.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$36,250 (±$10,869)	$53,375 (±$7,100)	+47.2%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
