How renting in Anderson 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	44.8% (±8.7 points)	47.1% (±6.9 points)	+2.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$698 (±$99)	$731 (±$108)	+4.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$41,618 (±$7,820)	$53,966 (±$6,807)	+29.7%	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.
