How home values in Mountain Lake have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$75,100 (±$6,813)	$143,100 (±$16,650)	+90.5%	Up after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$794 (±$59)	$1,342 (±$139)	+69.0%	Up after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$1,161 (±$90)	$1,832 (±$126)	+57.8%	Up after inflation

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