How renting in Stanton 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	51.4% (±9.2 points)	45.7% (±11.2 points)	−5.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$728 (±$34)	$775 (±$124)	+6.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$36,343 (±$11,866)	$25,417 (±$6,973)	−30.1%	Down 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.
