How renting in New Lexington has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	55.6% (±9.5 points)	42.4% (±8.7 points)	−13.2 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$622 (±$215)	$686 (±$169)	+10.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$33,203 (±$8,813)	$43,734 (±$5,303)	+31.7%	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.
