How renting in Syosset 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	8.7% (±2.4 points)	7.6% (±2.6 points)	−1.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$2,734 (±$313)	$3,036 (±$2,008)	+11.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$163,589 (±$10,840)	$187,273 (±$18,592)	+14.5%	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.
