How renting in Princess Anne 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	70.6% (±6.9 points)	57.3% (±15.9 points)	−13.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$869 (±$270)	$1,048 (±$123)	+20.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$34,213 (±$7,101)	$69,116 (±$8,332)	+102.0%	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.

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