How renting in Charlevoix has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	51.8% (±7.9 points)	38.1% (±7.3 points)	−13.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$567 (±$49)	$816 (±$173)	+43.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$31,885 (±$9,073)	$47,917 (±$11,966)	+50.3%	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.
