How renting in Red Wing 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	34.5% (±2.9 points)	27.8% (±3.1 points)	−6.7 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$899 (±$67)	$969 (±$54)	+7.8%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$54,785 (±$4,568)	$67,192 (±$10,238)	+22.6%	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.
