How renting in Ava 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	41.2% (±12.0 points)	45.3% (±8.8 points)	+4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$585 (±$42)	$696 (±$106)	+19.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$31,298 (±$9,457)	$42,500 (±$11,889)	+35.8%	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.
