How renting in Broken Bow 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	53.1% (±6.6 points)	45.4% (±8.1 points)	−7.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$564 (±$26)	$625 (±$74)	+10.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$31,596 (±$5,710)	$39,895 (±$15,439)	+26.3%	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.
