How renting in Augusta 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	40.2% (±4.7 points)	28.9% (±4.7 points)	−11.3 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$830 (±$156)	$865 (±$60)	+4.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,887 (±$4,579)	$64,919 (±$12,180)	+32.8%	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.
