How renting in Cannon Beach 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	56.9% (±10.6 points)	45.2% (±14.4 points)	−11.7 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$839 (±$134)	$1,126 (±$19)	+34.2%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$50,846 (±$17,378)	$69,375 (±$8,290)	+36.4%	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.
