How renting in Hampton (community) 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	20.1% (±3.4 points)	25.5% (±4.7 points)	+5.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,179 (±$96)	$1,654 (±$93)	+40.3%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$92,220 (±$9,637)	$97,163 (±$3,708)	+5.4%	Down after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
