How renting in Mount Washington 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	17.0% (±2.6 points)	13.9% (±2.6 points)	−3.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$757 (±$71)	$1,008 (±$157)	+33.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$69,214 (±$4,258)	$96,239 (±$5,608)	+39.0%	Up 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.
