How renting in Fridley 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	39.6% (±2.3 points)	37.0% (±3.6 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$985 (±$30)	$1,326 (±$55)	+34.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$63,836 (±$2,188)	$77,680 (±$5,483)	+21.7%	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.
