How renting in El Cerro Mission 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	8.0% (±5.3 points)	14.6% (±6.9 points)	+6.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median household income	$31,941 (±$19,839)	$49,470 (±$6,484)	+54.9%	No measurable change after inflation

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