How renting in Los Lunas 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% (±4.4 points)	24.0% (±4.9 points)	−3.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,039 (±$72)	$1,110 (±$126)	+6.8%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$56,250 (±$2,947)	$62,330 (±$13,286)	+10.8%	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.
