How renting in Zanesville has changed since 2015–2019

	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median household income	$30,345 (±$3,150)	$43,280 (±$4,607)	+42.6%	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.
