How renting in Stockton Springs 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	7.7% (±3.5 points)	17.8% (±6.9 points)	+10.1 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$715 (±$72)	$1,397 (±$199)	+95.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$61,793 (±$9,355)	$74,886 (±$7,389)	+21.2%	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.
