How renting in Madras 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	57.8% (±6.9 points)	45.3% (±7.7 points)	−12.5 percentage points	Measurable decrease
Median gross rent	$815 (±$59)	$979 (±$75)	+20.1%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$34,858 (±$13,036)	$64,659 (±$12,859)	+85.5%	Up 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.
