How renting in Bristow 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	49.1% (±5.3 points)	56.2% (±7.2 points)	+7.1 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$611 (±$83)	$623 (±$111)	+2.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$34,833 (±$6,648)	$38,906 (±$9,038)	+11.7%	No measurable change after inflation

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