How renting in North Plymouth 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	51.4% (±7.7 points)	59.5% (±10.3 points)	+8.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,385 (±$194)	$1,780 (±$187)	+28.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$61,179 (±$15,171)	$80,745 (±$18,666)	+32.0%	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.
