How renting in Hampton Beach 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	37.9% (±8.0 points)	37.1% (±7.5 points)	−0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,077 (±$71)	$1,375 (±$130)	+27.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$63,984 (±$10,731)	$82,557 (±$17,401)	+29.0%	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.
