How renting in Dodge Center 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	24.9% (±5.1 points)	18.6% (±5.7 points)	−6.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$663 (±$53)	$1,012 (±$97)	+52.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$58,179 (±$7,133)	$93,884 (±$13,917)	+61.4%	Up 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.
