How renting in Darby 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	46.3% (±11.2 points)	55.1% (±15.8 points)	+8.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$582 (±$200)	$889 (±$96)	+52.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$27,097 (±$5,129)	$43,627 (±$6,138)	+61.0%	Up 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.
