How renting in Yardville 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	12.3% (±4.5 points)	20.4% (±4.6 points)	+8.1 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$1,199 (±$127)	$1,661 (±$93)	+38.5%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$107,229 (±$17,024)	$103,274 (±$10,332)	−3.7%	Down 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.
