How renting in Red River 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	36.4% (±17.4 points)	59.3% (±23.6 points)	+22.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$792 (±$104)	$933 (±$336)	+17.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,479 (±$19,246)	$22,384 (±$19,880)	−54.8%	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.
