How renting in Eggertsville 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	25.7% (±3.6 points)	26.5% (±4.6 points)	+0.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$885 (±$70)	$886 (±$160)	+0.1%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$72,652 (±$8,106)	$82,767 (±$5,842)	+13.9%	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.
