How home values in La Plata have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$150,000 (±$20,981)	$210,000 (±$36,986)	+40.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$1,435 (±$317)	$1,317 (±$136)	−8.2%	Down after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$704 (±$300)	$1,491 (±$408)	+111.8%	Up 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.
