How renting in Red Springs 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	47.2% (±7.7 points)	47.6% (±7.1 points)	+0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$494 (±$153)	$582 (±$208)	+17.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$26,829 (±$6,075)	$20,833 (±$6,941)	−22.3%	Down 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.
