How renting in Ambridge 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	54.6% (±4.7 points)	53.3% (±5.4 points)	−1.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$697 (±$47)	$969 (±$173)	+39.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$41,377 (±$3,128)	$51,537 (±$3,947)	+24.6%	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.
