How renting in Boulder City 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	31.7% (±3.7 points)	22.1% (±3.4 points)	−9.6 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,002 (±$85)	$1,427 (±$100)	+42.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$61,787 (±$4,197)	$74,757 (±$9,089)	+21.0%	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.
