How renting in Crystal Falls 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	20.2% (±4.3 points)	19.3% (±5.5 points)	−0.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$533 (±$83)	$791 (±$155)	+48.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$45,486 (±$8,028)	$60,865 (±$10,460)	+33.8%	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.
