How renting in Glen Burnie 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	38.8% (±1.8 points)	35.9% (±1.9 points)	−2.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,320 (±$31)	$1,648 (±$35)	+24.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$70,769 (±$2,301)	$88,280 (±$5,247)	+24.7%	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.
