How renting in Pineville 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	52.4% (±6.9 points)	65.2% (±7.9 points)	+12.8 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$337 (±$87)	$407 (±$87)	+20.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$19,063 (±$3,764)	$24,547 (±$3,167)	+28.8%	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.
