How renting in Colesville 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	9.7% (±2.7 points)	17.0% (±5.7 points)	+7.3 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,897 (±$652)	$1,893 (±$446)	−0.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$125,497 (±$7,085)	$130,682 (±$35,941)	+4.1%	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.
