How renting in Elysian 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	12.2% (±6.6 points)	17.4% (±7.0 points)	+5.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$725 (±$316)	$1,088 (±$70)	+50.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$68,036 (±$10,594)	$89,632 (±$13,630)	+31.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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