How renting in Kiowa 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	30.7% (±8.9 points)	17.2% (±6.3 points)	−13.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$525 (±$242)	$705 (±$340)	+34.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$47,969 (±$8,856)	$50,833 (±$18,029)	+6.0%	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.
