How renting in New Haven 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	36.7% (±9.1 points)	32.7% (±9.9 points)	−4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$651 (±$111)	$845 (±$68)	+29.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,143 (±$7,984)	$70,000 (±$14,467)	+66.1%	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.
