How renting in Red Lake 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	60.4% (±10.3 points)	33.7% (±15.9 points)	−26.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$568 (±$95)	$378 (±$51)	−33.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$40,250 (±$5,703)	$46,328 (±$33,347)	+15.1%	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.
