How renting in Hill 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	21.5% (±5.1 points)	31.4% (±7.1 points)	+9.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$605 (±$130)	$735 (±$31)	+21.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,206 (±$7,374)	$48,512 (±$3,102)	+14.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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