How renting in Cave Junction 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	46.9% (±8.8 points)	28.9% (±9.0 points)	−18.0 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$874 (±$63)	$965 (±$215)	+10.4%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$26,250 (±$5,010)	$39,291 (±$4,775)	+49.7%	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.
