How renting in Purdy 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	39.2% (±11.7 points)	38.6% (±10.2 points)	−0.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$585 (±$170)	$539 (±$411)	−7.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$46,071 (±$14,861)	$36,711 (±$10,872)	−20.3%	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.
