How renting in Linden 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	12.8% (±3.9 points)	9.1% (±3.9 points)	−3.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$774 (±$36)	$809 (±$179)	+4.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$72,933 (±$12,239)	$79,464 (±$16,459)	+9.0%	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.
