How renting in River Bend 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	19.9% (±7.9 points)	13.6% (±6.1 points)	−6.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$905 (±$132)	$1,289 (±$123)	+42.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$65,083 (±$8,631)	$71,824 (±$13,345)	+10.4%	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.
