How renting in Charlotte Hall 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	32.5% (±22.0 points)	41.1% (±19.2 points)	+8.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,100 (±$61)	$943 (±$221)	−14.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$97,656 (±$56,247)	$84,271 (±$56,187)	−13.7%	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.
