How renting in New City 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	10.1% (±1.6 points)	6.8% (±1.7 points)	−3.3 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,643 (±$197)	$2,242 (±$196)	+36.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$138,638 (±$7,835)	$173,046 (±$12,542)	+24.8%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
