How home values in Lake Carmel 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	$277,500 (±$8,612)	$363,700 (±$13,758)	+31.1%	Up after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$2,316 (±$90)	$2,634 (±$135)	+13.7%	Down after inflation
Median real estate taxes	$8,105 (±$472)	$8,957 (±$468)	+10.5%	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.
