How renting in Mabel 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	17.3% (±4.7 points)	13.3% (±4.6 points)	−4.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$755 (±$84)	$729 (±$92)	−3.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$56,797 (±$6,340)	$59,392 (±$5,615)	+4.6%	Down 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.
