How renting in Walkertown 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	31.4% (±6.4 points)	26.0% (±7.8 points)	−5.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$756 (±$75)	$1,379 (±$265)	+82.4%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$41,952 (±$11,678)	$82,615 (±$21,129)	+96.9%	Up 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.
