How renting in Severna Park 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	8.6% (±1.9 points)	9.3% (±2.2 points)	+0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,744 (±$225)	$1,699 (±$270)	−2.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$151,499 (±$6,801)	$169,953 (±$7,373)	+12.2%	Down 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.
