How renting in Grand Junction 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	34.8% (±7.2 points)	36.2% (±11.9 points)	+1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$615 (±$94)	$874 (±$109)	+42.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,719 (±$9,419)	$61,667 (±$15,095)	+32.0%	No measurable change after inflation

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