How renting in University Gardens 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	24.3% (±6.6 points)	13.5% (±5.4 points)	−10.8 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$1,665 (±$370)	$1,846 (±$414)	+10.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$116,711 (±$35,465)	$101,786 (±$26,735)	−12.8%	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.
