How renting in Leverett 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	11.4% (±3.2 points)	12.8% (±4.4 points)	+1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,393 (±$142)	$1,389 (±$135)	−0.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$90,978 (±$7,944)	$104,688 (±$18,205)	+15.1%	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.
