How renting in Atkinson 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	22.1% (±6.7 points)	26.6% (±8.4 points)	+4.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$550 (±$63)	$655 (±$106)	+19.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,947 (±$7,269)	$79,375 (±$14,093)	+62.2%	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.
