How renting in Grove City 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	40.9% (±7.8 points)	35.9% (±10.2 points)	−5.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$830 (±$48)	$822 (±$71)	−1.0%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$49,375 (±$4,233)	$53,839 (±$9,071)	+9.0%	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.
