How renting in Flemingsburg 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	52.0% (±8.5 points)	56.2% (±9.2 points)	+4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$526 (±$73)	$716 (±$167)	+36.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$33,774 (±$5,625)	$35,493 (±$3,953)	+5.1%	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.
