How renting in Norwood 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	56.6% (±2.8 points)	52.5% (±3.6 points)	−4.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$748 (±$37)	$981 (±$38)	+31.1%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$45,581 (±$3,497)	$71,611 (±$6,120)	+57.1%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
