How renting in Tripoli 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	22.5% (±6.1 points)	13.1% (±6.4 points)	−9.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$555 (±$58)	$940 (±$40)	+69.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$57,386 (±$6,868)	$78,324 (±$7,068)	+36.5%	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.
