How renting in Gwinn 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	9.2% (±4.9 points)	28.7% (±14.1 points)	+19.5 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$469 (±$206)	$682 (±$221)	+45.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$60,133 (±$9,105)	$46,414 (±$6,353)	−22.8%	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.
