How renting in Green Knoll 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	27.1% (±4.2 points)	21.2% (±5.8 points)	−5.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,161 (±$138)	$1,448 (±$890)	+24.7%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$118,016 (±$18,684)	$165,227 (±$33,580)	+40.0%	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.
