How renting in Princeville 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	40.2% (±11.1 points)	33.9% (±11.5 points)	−6.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$713 (±$137)	$1,103 (±$137)	+54.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$33,878 (±$5,876)	$46,406 (±$19,695)	+37.0%	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.
