How renting in National Harbor 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	52.2% (±8.0 points)	42.5% (±11.2 points)	−9.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,352 (±$188)	$2,271 (±$645)	+68.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$89,838 (±$36,948)	$109,707 (±$19,937)	+22.1%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
