How renting in Bunkie 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	32.0% (±9.5 points)	60.9% (±13.1 points)	+28.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$909 (±$114)	$828 (±$62)	−8.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$28,465 (±$11,893)	$22,267 (±$7,500)	−21.8%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
