How renting in Linthicum 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	17.9% (±3.6 points)	16.6% (±3.7 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,529 (±$183)	$2,066 (±$158)	+35.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$96,875 (±$7,214)	$134,673 (±$10,814)	+39.0%	Up 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.
