How renting in Montgomery City 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	41.7% (±6.0 points)	34.4% (±6.0 points)	−7.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$626 (±$53)	$767 (±$48)	+22.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$42,526 (±$5,868)	$57,500 (±$8,071)	+35.2%	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.
