How rent in Englewood has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median gross rent	$1,469 (±$119)	$1,977 (±$144)	+34.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Households that rent	45.3% (±3.5 points)	45.5% (±4.2 points)	+0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Rental vacancy rate	8.4% (±3.8 points)	2.9% (±2.0 points)	−5.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease

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.
