How renting in Edina 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	29.2% (±1.5 points)	27.6% (±2.0 points)	−1.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,404 (±$55)	$1,844 (±$60)	+31.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$104,244 (±$4,908)	$128,767 (±$7,641)	+23.5%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
