How renting in Robinwood 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	55.9% (±5.4 points)	49.9% (±8.9 points)	−6.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,101 (±$72)	$1,419 (±$85)	+28.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,401 (±$5,188)	$90,840 (±$14,456)	+55.5%	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.
