How renting in North Amityville 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	40.4% (±6.1 points)	36.5% (±6.9 points)	−3.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,546 (±$138)	$2,467 (±$396)	+59.6%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$75,529 (±$13,585)	$136,654 (±$19,294)	+80.9%	Up 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.
