How renting in Burwell 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	26.1% (±7.4 points)	24.7% (±8.2 points)	−1.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$432 (±$14)	$460 (±$44)	+6.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$46,691 (±$6,790)	$51,250 (±$10,831)	+9.8%	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.
