How renting in Kenyon 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	26.9% (±5.7 points)	14.8% (±6.8 points)	−12.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$689 (±$159)	$869 (±$46)	+26.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$57,440 (±$8,459)	$82,500 (±$5,260)	+43.6%	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.
