How renting in Blair has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict

Median gross rent	$640 (±$41)	$772 (±$178)	+20.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$49,091 (±$5,830)	$49,063 (±$2,514)	−0.1%	Down after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
