How renting in Battle Mountain 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	26.8% (±10.0 points)	27.2% (±8.7 points)	+0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$853 (±$21)	$899 (±$110)	+5.4%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$73,536 (±$22,048)	$81,857 (±$28,990)	+11.3%	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.
