How renting in Carthage 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	33.3% (±8.3 points)	18.4% (±7.5 points)	−14.9 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$727 (±$518)	$904 (±$366)	+24.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$48,381 (±$13,456)	$82,695 (±$18,936)	+70.9%	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.
