How renting in Chisago City 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	18.5% (±5.2 points)	27.5% (±6.0 points)	+9.0 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,091 (±$266)	$1,321 (±$495)	+21.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$84,620 (±$13,790)	$102,197 (±$15,666)	+20.8%	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.
