How renting in Cortland 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	26.7% (±5.2 points)	24.1% (±6.5 points)	−2.6 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$724 (±$113)	$720 (±$81)	−0.6%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$62,260 (±$6,621)	$71,563 (±$14,120)	+14.9%	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.
