How renting in Red Lodge 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	38.3% (±8.3 points)	33.8% (±11.9 points)	−4.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$826 (±$105)	$717 (±$285)	−13.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,311 (±$2,945)	$55,750 (±$42,988)	+15.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
