How renting in Alliance 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	36.2% (±4.7 points)	24.8% (±6.0 points)	−11.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$664 (±$93)	$694 (±$183)	+4.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,805 (±$8,038)	$65,160 (±$10,845)	+33.5%	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.
