How renting in Standish 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	43.8% (±5.8 points)	44.5% (±7.7 points)	+0.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$391 (±$51)	$689 (±$101)	+76.2%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$32,446 (±$5,054)	$35,395 (±$6,233)	+9.1%	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.
