How renting in Havre 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	42.6% (±4.2 points)	32.5% (±4.6 points)	−10.1 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$665 (±$34)	$844 (±$135)	+26.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,294 (±$4,743)	$50,329 (±$7,274)	+4.2%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
