How renting in Pomeroy 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	40.1% (±7.4 points)	40.3% (±9.9 points)	+0.2 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$514 (±$53)	$491 (±$174)	−4.5%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$32,857 (±$11,039)	$33,333 (±$14,264)	+1.4%	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.
