How renting in South Monroe 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	35.8% (±4.3 points)	30.4% (±4.8 points)	−5.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$735 (±$70)	$987 (±$122)	+34.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$41,136 (±$7,144)	$61,982 (±$9,640)	+50.7%	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.
