How renting in North Branch 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	42.3% (±9.5 points)	28.4% (±9.1 points)	−13.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$732 (±$95)	$735 (±$95)	+0.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$35,341 (±$8,629)	$56,731 (±$11,385)	+60.5%	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.
