How renting in Jericho 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	13.5% (±3.3 points)	20.4% (±4.5 points)	+6.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$2,008 (±$219)	$2,661 (±$352)	+32.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$173,709 (±$20,504)	$167,935 (±$31,995)	−3.3%	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.
