How renting in Richwood 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	55.4% (±7.6 points)	69.7% (±9.2 points)	+14.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$556 (±$140)	$978 (±$155)	+75.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$24,896 (±$5,942)	$31,680 (±$6,119)	+27.2%	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.
