How renting in Derma 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	35.7% (±8.8 points)	56.8% (±12.7 points)	+21.1 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$609 (±$42)	$752 (±$75)	+23.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$29,180 (±$5,712)	$41,071 (±$7,241)	+40.8%	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.
