How renting in Sargent 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	33.6% (±11.3 points)	29.4% (±10.5 points)	−4.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$825 (±$294)	$631 (±$90)	−23.5%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$37,000 (±$8,224)	$54,423 (±$13,171)	+47.1%	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.
