How renting in Beatrice 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	39.6% (±4.0 points)	34.7% (±3.9 points)	−4.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$629 (±$29)	$758 (±$72)	+20.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$44,991 (±$4,257)	$57,264 (±$4,574)	+27.3%	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.
