How renting in West Unity 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	37.6% (±7.6 points)	35.1% (±9.3 points)	−2.5 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$631 (±$32)	$914 (±$98)	+44.8%	Up after inflation
Median household income	$45,000 (±$8,683)	$66,759 (±$9,939)	+48.4%	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.
