How renting in Oceanside 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	12.2% (±2.4 points)	6.8% (±2.0 points)	−5.4 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,581 (±$176)	$2,227 (±$120)	+40.9%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$118,196 (±$7,528)	$149,560 (±$11,172)	+26.5%	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.
