How renting in Byron 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	11.4% (±3.4 points)	16.8% (±5.0 points)	+5.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$957 (±$224)	$1,135 (±$151)	+18.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$94,153 (±$9,588)	$124,010 (±$18,165)	+31.7%	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.
