How renting in Meeker 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	38.0% (±5.8 points)	50.9% (±8.0 points)	+12.9 percentage points	Measurable increase
Median gross rent	$563 (±$80)	$771 (±$103)	+36.9%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$37,917 (±$5,640)	$41,190 (±$4,895)	+8.6%	No measurable change after inflation

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