How renting in Rush City 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	41.5% (±6.5 points)	39.5% (±9.8 points)	−2.0 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$827 (±$72)	$983 (±$67)	+18.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,005 (±$7,237)	$58,760 (±$2,307)	+27.7%	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.
