How renting in Davison has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median gross rent	$736 (±$28)	$891 (±$51)	+21.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,534 (±$3,521)	$48,814 (±$8,879)	+0.6%	Down 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.
