How renting in Edgewater 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	19.5% (±5.1 points)	16.6% (±5.3 points)	−2.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,755 (±$125)	$2,208 (±$304)	+25.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$89,349 (±$9,096)	$114,365 (±$16,530)	+28.0%	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.
