How renting in Bourbon 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	44.3% (±8.6 points)	41.8% (±8.5 points)	−2.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$765 (±$60)	$907 (±$68)	+18.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$41,625 (±$13,319)	$53,533 (±$15,963)	+28.6%	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.
