How renting in Tecumseh 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	28.5% (±3.8 points)	30.3% (±4.7 points)	+1.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$772 (±$40)	$1,003 (±$88)	+29.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$58,428 (±$4,697)	$62,835 (±$8,998)	+7.5%	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.
