How renting in Belcourt 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	50.8% (±9.4 points)	64.2% (±13.4 points)	+13.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$350 (±$52)	$846 (±$162)	+141.7%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$31,184 (±$3,966)	$90,568 (±$66,021)	+190.4%	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.
