How renting in Cadillac 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	41.1% (±3.8 points)	31.2% (±4.5 points)	−9.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$631 (±$59)	$842 (±$52)	+33.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$36,734 (±$4,646)	$51,773 (±$3,850)	+40.9%	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.
