How renting in Enid 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	39.1% (±2.6 points)	38.7% (±2.7 points)	−0.4 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$860 (±$26)	$914 (±$33)	+6.3%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$51,952 (±$2,348)	$62,125 (±$3,136)	+19.6%	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.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
