How renting in Blue Mountain 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	51.8% (±12.3 points)	40.1% (±13.7 points)	−11.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$419 (±$176)	$718 (±$97)	+71.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$24,375 (±$10,995)	$49,667 (±$17,247)	+103.8%	No measurable change after inflation

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