How renting in Clara City has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	28.3% (±5.8 points)	34.2% (±7.0 points)	+5.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change

Median household income	$54,286 (±$7,338)	$63,636 (±$6,392)	+17.2%	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.
