How renting in Vale 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	44.3% (±7.5 points)	36.5% (±9.3 points)	−7.8 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$730 (±$48)	$820 (±$83)	+12.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$38,295 (±$5,059)	$50,313 (±$10,244)	+31.4%	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.

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